Tree-planting conundrum
Thousands of hectares of carbon-absorbing trees and shrubs are plowed under each year and covered over with concrete and tar, their benefits lost forever (“Hope and muscle,” Environment, January 2021). They are replaced with thousands of buildings. It is hard to imagine how this new tree-planting program can keep up and get ahead of those losses. These new trees must be out of the reach of government highways, developers and loggers. I am sure there are many citizens who would love to participate in planting trees on their existing properties free of charge.
