    How many trees did you plant this week? I planted around 10 so far.

      That’s impressive, though I don’t really get what that has to do with my post. In fact I was sure you had replied to me in that topic about Ecosia from the other day. 😅

        What are you doing about it rather than being a keyboard warrior netizen then?

      What is it about trees? Any time someone posts something about the problems of some plans to fight climate change on Lemmy or Reddit, someone posts a reply like yours. And every tine news about climate activists are posted, someone else posts something about that they had better planted some trees. Planting trees is a commendable effort and a great first step, but you do know that (if I understand earth’s climate history correctly) earth was covered in trees when CO2-levels were as high as today or even higher? Only by sequestrating fallen trees underground through sedimentation (and converting them to coal and later oil) did CO2-levels in the atmosphere begin to drop.
