Plant a tree
The
most effective way of removing the excess Carbon
Dioxide from the air we breathe is by using the magical machine we call
a
tree. So we need to reforest the areas where trees have been depleted
and plant new forests wherever we can.
This will not be
an easy task as so very few people are aware of the seriousness of the
situation and there are also very powerful forces trying to
prevent the dissemination of unbiased information on the subject.
An important first step is to set up
systems aimed at broadcasting information on the problem. The second
one to find
solutions, with the third one to act on the solutions and establish
which ones work
By the time newly planted trees are doing their job the climate will have
become inhospitable to some of the native tree species so we need an adaptable approach to our Planetary
Repair efforts. We will need to practice Deep Adaptation to the changed
conditions.
The extent of the damage done by our careless attitude
to the health of Planet
Earth means that we have to take urgent action to repair the vandalism
we see around us. The most obvious one is the loss of our tree
cover.
We all need to do our bit to ensure that the next generation
still have trees. Dwellers on this planet need an abundance of
trees
Offsetting - Airline passengers need encouragement to fund
tree planting. Fewer than 1% of fliers take the opportunity to pay to
offset their carbon dioxide creation. Less than 50% of the world’s
airlines offer a service.
Trees are the solution to so many of our problems. There
are many benefits to be
had; Air to breathe is one of them, in addition to supplying the
oxygen to keep us alive, a mature tree will 'soak up' several
kilograms of carbon dioxide every year.

Lets increase the number of trees on our little
planet. Two trillion trees would be an appropriate number
