Global warming is a very real topic, and definitely not one to be joked about, as there is only one planet earth, and all of us happen to be living on it, with no where else that is viable for us to survive. An ex-NASA engineer has a bright idea – why not plant more trees along the way? This is a pretty sound idea, and a basic one of course, but just how many trees should be planted? A million? 10 million? No, the figure is a whole lot more ambitious actually, as he is looking forward to plant a whopping one billion trees each year, and this will be made possible with a little bit of help from drones, of course.
Just how far will planting a billion trees each year go in solving climate issues in the world, we do not really know, but at least the drones will be able to do their part when it comes to planting forests of seedlings.
Lauren Fletcher, the founder of BioCarbon Engineering, shared, “We are going to counter industrial scale deforestation using industrial scale reforestation.” Fletcher was an environmental engineer who worked for two decades with NASA, and intends to make use of drone technology in order to plant up to a billion trees annually – all without using a single human hand to do so directly. The drones will go about their jobs by flying two or three meters above the ground, before firing out pods which contain pre-germinated seeds which will be covered in a nutritious hydrogel.
