It'd be great to see Pres Biden push for a tree planting initiative to combat carbon.

Not only would it help reduce carbon levels but it could also be part of a jobs programs that hires people to plant trees.

Trees alone won't fix the carbon problem but they will help reduce carbon levels and need to be part of a plan to combat carbon pollution. To tackle global warming we will need to employ every weapon in our arsenal or this planet will bake itself to death.

Another mammoth weapon in the fight to reduce carbon levels. Hemp and cannabis. Both are ferocious carbon consuming plants. They grow from seed to the size of a large Christmas tree in about 3 months.

In fact, hemp and weed are likely the fastest growing plants on Earth. They consume more carbon than almost any other plant species due to that incredible growth.

Trees, hemp, and cannabis need to be part of our strategy to combat C02.

President Biden is the perfect leader to make it happen!

Just curious. I kinda know bamboo but not familiar with its growth cycle from seed.

Years ago, I grew legal weed and it is an incredible grower.

Those louts took an ax to those beauties for camera angles for their illegal tribute to trumpism masquerading as their 2020 convention.

It would make Melania burn, so that would be cool.
