I don't understand the argument. We needed to know how many trees there are to know whether we physically have space available for more?

- nxzero 11y agoAttempting to count the trees provided a better understanding of what types of trees growth where with what density, though I would agree it seems like "just go plant some trees" might get more done.
- paulsutter 11y agoWe need to know the density of trees in various environments to understand how many more we can plant. And when you have that, you also know how many trees already exist. It's also useful to know how many trees have been lost to development, which is closely related to how many currently exist. And all of that is based on knowledge of tree density in various environments.
