Is planting trees actually good for the planet?


Possibly. But Terraforming planets is certainly good for the trees.

Why is planting a tree not a good thing now?

Of course, it's good. Nature is always the best to take care of the earth. Reforestation helps the water from rainforests to sink below the ground preventing it to drain down to rivers to the ocean. If it's the cycle of water that they are trying to restore, planting trees is a must.

The way water is important to life and mankind, it is the same way trees are too. This is because trees help produce oxygen as they take man's wasted carbon dioxide in replacement. Areas with much trees are always cooler than those without trees, that explains it. The planet needs enough oxygen to keep it going and to this more trees.


Planting trees will help reduce CO2, which will reduce global warming, which will allow people to survive and the population to grow.

Yes, it helps in regulating the warnness of weather and keeps at check global warming. We can not emphasize this point enough too.

Planting trees is good, yes it really is, but the real challenge is nurturing.

Thousands of people and organizations can conduct tree planting activities, then leave it afterward. This scenario often happens in regions with a large scale of illegal logging activities, yet we can't see significant results with this process. Because 90%+ of the trees they planted will die due to lack of nutrition, water, and any other factors.  Cheesy

I learned that a well constructed forest doesn't need a lot of nurturing. The key to a healthy forest is a minimum distance between trees. So when planting trees its important to not put them too close to each other. They will take all the things they need from the soil. And if trees are to close to each other their competition for soil.
Indeed. When we plant trees there should be at least 3 feet of space because if it is planted very close to other trees they will compete for the water, soil nutrients, and sunlight that one of the trees might not be healthy and could die. It is why volunteers in tree planting only plant limited trees depending on the lot scale of the forest.

Like the ones nature puts various places all by itself.

FYI each of those trees might sequester 80 lb of co2, so to offset a human you'd need several hundred.

The thing about EVs is that to make them you need Lithium, and producing Lithium pollutes more than a life-cycle of an average diesel car.
Sure, they don't pollute on the road, once they're made.
But how do you make the Lithium?


drill a hole (electric drill in future will be common  not diesel)
water pumped in then pressures brings out a 'brine'(alkali Salt) solution
reverse osmosis or just left to evaporate the water in a settling pond for a while
skimming/scraping the lithium layer

EV trucks(in the future) or electric pumps and pipes transport the condensed brine(skimmed/scraped layer).
electric powered factories run by renewables then do chemical separation
oh. they actually put carbon into the mix. meaning they are not evaporating carbon out but putting carbon into lithium. so good place to store carbon
...
dont worry they dont use millions of gallons of diesel in digger trucks. ..its a drill and a pump method
so less carbon waste than gold mining for instance

(1 ounce of gold uses $300 of JUST diesel)
(1 ounce of lithium costs well under $0.30 of ALL production costs)

as far as I know, that's good, because the tree's job is to keep the heat from the sun...
try to pay attention to areas that have a few trees will definitely feel hot. planting more trees can prevent global warming which is getting worse every year, if the trees are cut down and not planted again, global warming will accelerate, thus making the ice in the north and south poles melt faster.

CO2 could rather easily be taken out of the atmosphere at the South Pole. Six months of winter there, the temp hovers in the mid -70s. The freezing point of co2 is -108F.

Hence a simple blower and an expansion Venturi would have co2 dropping out as snow. Or skip the blower and use the force of the adiabatic winds.

Is planting trees actually good for the planet?


Of course it's not, lol. Planting trees will help reduce CO2, which will reduce global warming, which will allow people to survive and the population to grow. This isn't helping Bill Gates at all, lol.

we chop too much, all the planting we do does not represent a fraction of what we chop
and thus animals go extinct

Others have pointed out contrary facts.

As some users have pointed out, planting trees is good (no surprises there), however, it's going to take a lot more than just planting trees to mitigate and reverse some of the effects from climate change. Another user pointed out those trees depend on groundwater to grow and with droughts worsening as a consequence of climate change just planting trees alone will do no good for the planet. We need a combination of different strategies ranging from planting trees, building carbon sucking plants, cutting carbon emissions down to zero, and other forms of geoengineering and environmental action.

A great tree to grow indoor, is the lemon tree ! It provides yield Smiley.

YES! Or a little tree with both lime and lemon grafted on.

That's what's expected from the bitcoin world Smiley. Maybe add oranges too?

I'm not an expert in this, but I would expect limes and lemons to be very productive. An orange it seems would steal nutrients and water sufficient for a half dozen limes and lemons. Or if oranges, then something small from that family, like mandarins.

These trees are usually grafted one root system another top, so it's no big deal to get two or three or more different things on one root system.
