Believe in Climate Change?
Do you think climate change will accelerate in the next 20-50 years?
If so, read on.
If not, are you 100% sure?
If not (100% sure), then consider this solution a fairly easy way to reduce potential risk.
And, even if (hopefully) nothing (super bad) happens, there might some other, very good things that result from planting the right combos of trees in the right places.
Plant the Right Trees
The simplest (in theory, IMHO) way to reduce carbon dioxide is to plant the correct trees. An acre of trees will suck up a lot of CO2.
But,
You have to pick the right trees and plants for each place for a variety of reasons. And you need to plant a mixture of trees to create a forest/ecosystem, not a monoculture.
To summarize:
- Picking the right trees and plants
- Using the right mixture to create an ecosystem
- Monoculture don’t work well and can cause problems later
Why Wait for Other People? Do It Yourself!
From the article by Matt, he writes:
Observers recognise that the decisive, political steps to enable the cuts in carbon to take place will have to happen before the end of next year
Obviously large organizations can create great impact, but why not do things yourself? In other words, don’t pass the buck onto someone else. Do something yourself.
There’s plenty of organizations planting trees. I think my favorite, so far, is Trees for the Future because they do it as part of a whole process called agroforestry.
Agroforestry-style planting would probably (have a higher chance to) help re-green the Sahel (south of the Sahara), and might also help China re-green parts of its land.
Of course, it’s worthwhile to be involved in positive politics, too. But, at least don’t think of it as the only solution!
Thanks and best wishes!
