Forestation for the win! But apparently there are a lot of people looking into it (http://trees.org http://trees.org, http://edenprojects.org http://edenprojects.org, https://onetreeplanted.org https://onetreeplanted.org -- which even has awesome mini-crowd-funds for your company/wedding/etc: https://www.classy.org/campaign/tree-ambassadors/c200082 https://www.classy.org/campaign/tree-ambassadors/c200082).
How do you get large scale adoption though? Laws? Government projects? Millionaires?
- growlist 7y agoI'm wondering about crowdfunding and putting the land into a national land bank.
- rexpop 7y agoGovernment projects, on the international scale.
- ralusek 7y agoGovernment could subsidize the price of lumber. You want it to be a more economical alternative than farmland. Then leave things like efficient use of water, tree density, and type of fast growing tree to the market, those are probably already optimized.
- claystu 7y agoTax incentives. It's how we encourage a lot of good samaritan behavior. Offer tax deductions for trees and watch forests pop up everywhere.
