Our site on positive news would be remiss if we didn’t discuss the importance of the carbon positive contributions. Carbon Positive is a dense and forward-focused site that explains the movement in detail. Please take a moment to wrap your head around one the articles on this rich site.
Here’s an excerpt from an article about tree planting and its efficacy when it comes to global warming:
So what are the benefits of planting trees?
Planting trees is hugely beneficial to the world in the face of accelerating climate change. There is now a strong international scientific consensus that human activity is causing global warming. A substantial reduction in the planet's forest cover over recent centuries is a major contributor to this climatic change.
As trees grow they absorb carbon dioxide (CO2), the main ‘greenhouse gas’ responsible for global warming, thereby reducing the concentration of this gas in the atmosphere. Forests are referred to as ‘carbon sinks’ for this function of CO2 absorption and storage. Planting trees to bolster carbon sink area, an example of what's termed 'carbon sequestration', helps offset the loss of native forests and fights global warming.
Again, please take a moment to familiarize yourself with an article or two on this site. Right now, our ecology demands the highest amount of positivity and that begins with understanding.
