CLIMATE HOUR – You can make trees. You can plant them, watch them grow, and they will automatically fight climate change for you. Trees are made out of cellulose and cellulose is carbon. There are literally six atoms of carbon in every molecule of cellulose. And all of the carbon going into trees come out of the air. So make a tree, and that tree will fight climate change for you.



Trees look good. They smell wonderful and they produce fruit and nuts. Planting trees is certainly easier than mowing grass. And the more trees you have around your house, the cooler and cleaner your air will be. So plant a tree.



Or plant a forest. Teams in India and other places around the world are growing home pocket forests with as many as 300 trees in an area the size of six parking spaces. That’s 300 trees growing in around 900 square feet. That’s a full on ecosystem in your backyard. You can plant a forest.
