    We’re releasing a lot of carbon right now.

    The neat thing is when a tree dies and starts releasing it again, the trees around it absorb it, and here’s the best part: They plant new trees all on their own.

      Doesn’t help through forest fires

      But the tree angle is mostly used by polluters to say they are carbon neutral because they planted some trees somewhere so they can continue polluting

      Not saying you are one of them, just to not put so much stock in it when we should be aiming for elimination

        I mean I’ll agree 100% that carbon credits or whatever they’re called now is bollocks.

        But more trees can’t hurt. And they’re nicer than endless fields of corn.
