It would be nearly impossible to plant enough trees to compensate for the climate impact of burning through the world’s fossil fuel reserves. Offsetting the estimated 182 billion tonnes of carbon held in the reserves of the world’s largest fossil fuel companies would require covering more land with trees than the entirety of North and Central America.
“There simply isn’t enough land available for the level of afforestation that would be needed to offset fossil fuel-related emissions,”
Yeah, that is the life. 10000 is a great number. I don’t think I have reached half of that number yet.
But yeah, all that I have done has been for free as a volunteer. And felt so much more rewarding than anything I’ve been paid for. My girlfriend has even paid to do volunteering in conservation. So that is going a step further. We now both have this little project where we use the syntropic method to bring life back to this slice of land we bought, where we’re also building our home.
Your life sounds wonderful. And I wish there was more of you out there. And I’m always grateful for knowing that there’s people like you out there. So, thank you.
