Climate change is accelerating and is an existential threat. It seems planting trees may be a partial solution. How do we start and cultivate a viral campaign to plant 1t trees?
Individuals in the US can do more to fight climate change by voting[1] than by planting trees.<p>The scope and cost of a PR campaign that would convince people to plant trees is staggering, and there's no single entity willing to pay for it. It's an issue of government taking action and extracting the money from the companies who have profited from pollution.<p>1. <a href="https://theconversation.com/government-action-isnt-enough-for-climate-change-the-private-sector-can-cut-billions-of-tons-of-carbon-79728" rel="nofollow">https://theconversation.com/government-action-isnt-enough-fo...</a>
Hemp would be better, btw. Because it grows faster and can be harvested twice a year. Big amount of very useful biomass for many useful products. Where at this planet all these trees should or could be planted? Where could be the most efficient place for it? Most of the trees in one big area, or better wide spread around the globe? How would it impact the actual nature and plants around? Which sort of trees? Could hemp be more efficient?
probably step one is to plant some trees yourself. you'll at least see how it's done at a low level<p>then convince some friends to go with you. encourage them to bring their friends. and repeat this<p>with exponential growth, any constant number is surmountable
