3. Another natural way is to replant the trees back into those areas. In
the area that I grew up in farmers systematically destroyed all the trees along ditches and river so they could claim more farmland. This may have made short term economic sense but it did not help in the long term. Their water levels went down and the trees are no longer using up the carbon. Conservation is the way to go.
