Planes Can Plant 900,000 Trees A Day With Seed Bombs [View all]

[font size="5"]Planes Can Plant 900,000 Trees A Day With Seed Bombs[/font]
April 10, 2016 / Culture of Awareness

Most major ecosystems are in danger of over-logging and with each acre we loose… the world looses more of our precious oxygen makers and plant medicine. We all realize the value of wood, but the over use of our culture is unable to keep up with the practice of hand-planting one tree for each one cut down.

The Intelligence Of Tree Bombing

Using old military planes, we can plant a billion trees a year. These planes will “Tree Bombs” to reforest areas that have been devastated by commercial clear cutting.

The aerial reforestation planes can reach remote areas,… even deserts! This removes the need to have individuals plant seedlings by hand.

The program uses some of that fastest growing trees in the world, which grow over 10 feet per year. These trees can fully counter the negative effects of de-forestation within a few years.
