Would it not be much faster and more efficient to just a use a helicopter to disperse it instead of hiking and setting up a trebuchet? If you are just launching

  You lost me at "just use a helicopter". Seriously, rich people, get out of your own bubble heads now and then. A low-tech, low-resource-intensive, no-dependency application of this technology has huge applications around the world. Do you know how much it costs to operate a helicopter per hour? Now scale it to month-long efforts to turn desert into forests. Scale it to a thousand villagers. Scale it to ten thousand villages. >Why the need to have people hike out just to launch the seed bombs. Because re-wilding requires a hands-on approach to be very effective. Just look at what China has done with the Great Green Wall - this was a labor intensive mega-project. Low-tech, highly effective solutions for seed distribution could be of great benefit in that context - without a bit of fancy speculation on our part, we'd still just have deserts and nothing to eat. YES, you could 'just use a helicopter'. You could just sit back on your deck chair and be served mocktails, too. Sometimes, kids, you need to do a bit of hard work.

    > Do you know how much it costs to operate a helicopter Do you know how easy and cheap it is to make gunpowder? I was making black powder rockets from grocery store ingredients when I was 12.
