Forests in Russia's Siberia are being destroyed massively by chinese (long term land lease)
dec 2017 video from google earth, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IloOgweXKo0
its also massively floating in the rivers there
So i am not sure that anyone from the government of any country gives a damn about it
Topic: shouldn't we plant billions of trees now? because - page 3. (Read 1452 times)
Yes because we know illegal deforestation we cant stop.nowadays flood is everywhere in all over the country.one reason is illegal deforestation.so I do believe we need to plant trees now to replace for the trees they cut it.
We should. The beneficial effects of trees and plants to the environment are enormous.
Unfortunately, mismanaged urbanisation and deforestation are ugly heads that the governments and each one of us must find ways to tame.

Shouldn't we plant tress now? Well I think the more appropriate question would be, why not? I mean, the advocacy of planting trees will greatly contribute to the welfare of the species here on Earth and to the increase of environmental protection. I am sure that this will lessen the excessive carbon emmisions on the Earth's atmosphere. Furthermore, the trees are proven already to be a stress reliever as it gives a positive psychological feeling that turns their moods and emotions into a good and pleasant one. It is undeniably true that planting tress will make our ecosystem more active and beneficial. However, we cannot just ignore the "billion" detail in the question. First, I do not think that it is possible in today's setup since almost all of the lands contain imfrastructures and buildings. Second, maybe extremely large number of tress will not make our ecosystem balanced and well-rounded. Lastly, billions means 1:1 ratio of people planting tress and the tress they are planting ang that's quite a lot and 'useless'. Thus, we shoukd plant tress, but not as many as billions are
shouldn't we plant billions of trees now?....
'No.
You do that, you are disturbing existing ecosystems without caring about them.
This right here, if you're planting BILLIONS of trees you're going to cause a shit ton of problems for ecosystems which have already grown accustomed to not having these areas around. Plus the fact that I don't know where people plan on planting these billions of trees.
No one is going to be happy when you ask them to leave their homes (or force them to leave their homes) so you can plant some trees.
A noble goal, but one which won't come to fruition.

Planting more trees isn't the right solution. We should cut CO2 emissions, thing that is not so easy to implement when you have superpowers (like USA) who oppose such changes...
Certainly both courses of action would be beneficial to the environment. There is agreement among 99% or so of the scientific community that this needs to be done, or we face very serious consequences.
At the same time, trees absorb CO2 and convert it into Oxygen. Deforestation continues to outpace reforestation and tree planting, so the easiest thing you can do as an individual is to plant more trees. And it doesn't have to cost you anything...find some trees, look for their seeds on the ground and bury them a couple inches under the soil in various places.
We should plant billions of trees because there are more cases of erosion in many countries of which planting of trees will help to reduce the erosion. Moreover, planting of trees will pose a very high economic advantage because we can get wood used for building houses, wood used for manufacturing papers and cartoons.
We should also remember that tress gives us oxygen and take Carbonivoxide for its growth not only that some trees serve are used for treatment one health problem or the other meaning we should be planting trees .

Its not a joke when someone says you're wasting the trees when you didn't use the paper properly.
Yes it is. The logging industry replants the forests they chop down to ensure they have a constantly regrowing supply. Wood is the very definition of a renewable resource. Deforestation is actually mainly the result of increasing demand for farmland - and you've only got the rising world population to blame for that.
We should start it a year ago, when we start using trees as our necessity. Its not a joke when someone says you're wasting the trees when you didn't use the paper properly. Trees functions as our factory of oxygen, without them, the oxygen present in our atmosphere will be gone. It simply cannot supply the whole human and animal race. If we still disregard the importance of tree planting, and continue to destroy the nature, I will not doubt that someday we will be buying oxygen cans, oxygen tanks, and even masks just to inhaling all the toxics present in our air.
I don't see why planting many trees would not help, so I am in favor of stopping unnecessary deforestation. But it won't stop because demand is increasing. Why is demand increasing? Who needs wood, well, humans...
So would you agree that if the human population would not increase/not decrease/decrease it would help oxygen levels to rise through trees? And don't forget, even if we plant trees and the human population continues to increase, humans will simply consume the newly produced oxygen.
So, I think planting trees will help, but it is just putting a tiny blister on a big wound. Let me know if you agree or disagree
i totally agree. for example Deforestation in the Amazon rainforest has decreased by 18 percent as of 2014, so hopefully that number is only going up So would you agree that if the human population would not increase/not decrease/decrease it would help oxygen levels to rise through trees? And don't forget, even if we plant trees and the human population continues to increase, humans will simply consume the newly produced oxygen.

shouldn't we plant billions of trees now? because
oxygen level since 1990

and there are more than 2000 species of trees with edible fruits and nuts and berries
trees produce 21 Million calories per acre
trees produce oxygen and wealth and wildlife habitat and food and timber.
cows produce 1 Million calories per acre
cows produce
