Research shows that planting trees in vacant land around the world will absorb more carbon emitted by humans each year
By
Afforestation is an effective solution to environmental problems such as climate change, securing water resources, and preserving ecosystems. Every vacant land in the world corresponds to a space for planting 1 trillion 200 billion trees, and if planted in all vacant lands, the planted trees are “produced artificially every year worldwide” Research results have been reported that they absorb carbon in excess of carbon dioxide such as carbon dioxide (CO2).

As part of her doctoral program when she was at Yale University, Thomas Crowser conducted research on measuring the effects of humanity on plants. According to this study, there are about 3 trillion trees on the earth, but about 15 billion trees are cut down each year, and when humanity started farming about 12,000 years ago By comparison, the number of trees in the world is down by 46%.

After being appointed as an associate professor at the Zurich Institute of Technology in Switzerland, Mr. Crowsar continues to study 'the influence of humanity on plants', and most of the world's carbon is in the arctic and subarctic regions , etc. Has clarified. Studies have shown that as global warming progresses, the soil in these areas releases carbon dioxide, which can accelerate climate change by 17 percent.
In response to this problem, Mr. Crowsar has announced that 'forestation is most effective against climate change.' By planting trees in all vacant lands around the world, it is possible to plant 1.2 trillion trees, and the effect is to absorb the amount of carbon exceeding the carbon dioxide emitted in the world annually. It is.

Following the announcement of Mr. Crowsar, the United Nations changed the name of the ' One Billion Tree Planting Campaign ' to promote tree planting in regions around the world, launched in 2006, to the ' One trillion tree planting campaign .' Although the 1 billion tree planting campaign achieved a total tree number of 14.2 billion trees planted in the world in 2016, this change of name in 2017 will strengthen efforts for planting trees. I appeal.
'If you plant a 1.2 trillion trees, it will be a calculation that will absorb the amount of carbon dioxide emitted by human beings in 10 years. It will not only improve urban environment, but also air pollution and water pollution. 'This is a simple, concrete and anyone-friendly effort that will improve the balance between food quality and ecosystems.'
