Reforest Illinois
posted by hedgehog in Biology, Ecofascism, Hot Hot Hot Hot |This story documents some interesting research — turns out that rather than dedicate vast tracts of land to fueling cars, it would make more sense from a carbon point of view to let the farms revert to forest and continue using fossil fuels for cars.
better for the water and soil too. the real problem though is rushing at any hot-pluggable answer. we need some — i was going to say we need an accounting method — but maybe what we need is like maybe a five-point schema for measuring regional inputs and outputs — like maybe “residential”, “industrial”, and “transport” for emissions and “natural” and “artificial” for sinks — then set up a world map with pentagonal overlays for each country or area — keep people from grasping at straws, even in absence of a global bureau of organic affairs.
