How many trees would we need if we wanted to offset our carbon emissions?

Together with Andy van den Dobbelsteen of TU Delft, we made De Klimaatstrijders, a short comedy film that tells the story of an ordinary Dutch family who sets out to compensate their emissions by planting trees. A lot of trees... so many trees in fact that they soon run into the limit of space for these trees, leading to unanticipated events...
