I mean, good I guess, but planting a few trees where millions used to grow seems counterintuitive.
Oh, so we do nothing? Yeah, let's just wait it out until someone magically invents some perfect solution that we can implement all at once.
Or... we chip away at the issue until it gets solved. Lots and lots of small fixes that add up... just like how lots and lots of small problems caused the issue in the first place.
It's passed time to chip away at it. That was 30 years ago. The solution is to stop buying, but even you hopeful fools won't give up your things and conveniences.
Plant your trees.
“The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago. The second best is now.”
What’s the alternative? There isn’t space for everyone to live in a cottage in the woods. Cities are great for density of people leaving more land to be forests. And I’d love it if cities encouraged and protected natural biome parks, especially cities that were once forested. But also this is the first step that can lead to urban forests
