Helping me out with this project!!!

Hey guy and new visitos, i understand money is tight and you cannot donate sometimes but please CLICK ON THE ADS ON THE SIDES i atleast get some money from that and i can buy more seeds and such. i appreciate it alot! thanks ^^

Great Trees for Carbon Sequencing!

First and foremost when considering a tree that is best for pulling pollutants out of the air, you must consider its physical traits! Naturally, a larger tree can hold more carbon; BUT you must also consider the leaf size of the tree! here are some examples of great trees to plant in your community or own yard to help do your part to control climate change :)

ROYAL EMPRESS TREE
Mature Height: 40-50 feet
Growth per Year: 12-18 feet!
Zones: 5-11

HYBRID POPLAR
Mature Height: 40-60 feet
Growth Per Year: 5-7 feet
Zones: 3-9

VARIOUS ASH TREES
Mature Height: 40-60 feet
Growth Per Year: 4-6 feet
Zones: 3-9

SILVER MAPLE
Mature Height: 50-70 feet
Growth Per Year: 6-10 feet
Zones 3-9

These are just some examples. do your own research and find some other good additions ^_^

Close up Alder
heres a close up of one of the growing trees. as you can see its growing nicely and brown free in my special mix of soil for trees :)

Three trees growing at the dorm. these are of the Alder family and commonly known as the Grey or Common Alder. the broad leaves of this species of tree are aspecially keen at pulling pollutants and carbon out the the air. this species aswell is unmatched in flood control as well as nitrogen fixation in the soil. thriving in both flooded, and arid soils, this is a perfect tree to be spread throughout the communities as well as common country sides. there are many more like this growing ^_^

So, thats it? YES! this is it

Alexander Kathleen of the USDA Forest Service writes an article titled "Benefit of Trees in Urban Areas." that provides interesting statistics put into a very different perspective:

“Planting trees remains one of the cheapest, most effective means of drawing excess CO₂ from the atmosphere. A single mature tree can absorb carbon dioxide at a rate of 48 lbs. /year and release enough oxygen back into the atmosphere to support 2 human beings. Over a 50-year lifetime, a tree generates $31,250 worth of oxygen, provides $62,000 worth of air pollution control, recycles $37,500 worth of water, and controls $31,250 worth of soil erosion.”

The environmental value of trees is very important, and the increased number of trees in the world before provided many resources and variables to rightfully rank the trees as an ecological powerhouse. The issue of sustainability wasn’t a problem with a surplus of trees, and with effort, reforestation would make sustainability a lesser issue to worry about versus being a global state of emergency. With some effort, we can all make a real conservational change.

Biological Super Machine!!

If you were told to imagine a super machine; one that could save the world from our eminent environmental disaster, what types of machines would you imagine? Thoughts of this huge machine are hard to imagine without adding features that would make it surreal and almost fantasy. Imagine that it could run off of sunlight and water, and is powered by the tons of CO2 emissions exerted by people’s lifestyles every day. Not only could this machine be capable of reducing the CO2 in the atmosphere, but think if it could support shelter for living organisms, and produce food that all types of organisms from animals to human can eat. The truth is that it builds itself, and is also self maintaining. Would if, I told you I not only harness the power to produce this machine, but do it at little to no cost with zero waste products over its entire lifespan? I’m speaking simply of nature’s oldest living structures, trees. Planting trees and rebuilding forests that were destroyed can offset our current state in the ecological crisis, and support biological sustainability; the overall capacity that nature can endure. Our trees harness the power to save our environment, and will support all biological life of the future in some way. We as inhabitants of our planet must look to trees, and other natural means to fix our current environmental crisis, because other means of change like oil reduction and green cars aren’t enough to make a difference

As we look today, there are many issues threatening the Environment. These issues stream from pollution, deforestation, animal extinction, and Global Climate change. Many of these issues are being fought with various methods like greener electronic devices and cars, and the overall knowledge of this issue being taught. As more time passes, we come up with new ideas, but none seem to be taking effect, as we are still pushing the carbon levels in the atmosphere to catastrophic levels.

Some would argue that carbon is a natural entity, and at earlier times existed at much higher levels and life was just fine. With almost multiple times higher carbon levels per part in the air, the world was much greener and plants grew to exponentially massive proportions. High carbon levels would simply just cause people and animals to adjust, and plants would be even healthier! This makes one think, what’s so bad about that; but there is one thing that high carbon levels that people don’t realize. High atmospheric carbon levels mean warmer weather, and drastic climate change. With an increase in atmospheric carbon, and a general increase in average global temperature, catastrophic weather would ensue.
