Brit Awards plant trees
Entertainment

Organisers of the Brit Awards have calculated that 1443 tonnes of carbon dioxide, enough to fill 7000 double decker buses, will be produced as a result of the awards, mostly from travel to the event and production of cd and video spin-offs. So they are arranging for 3500 trees to be planted in Barabhaig forest on the Isle of Skye. These trees will mop up an equal amount of carbon dioxide over the next 99 years.
