#Planting Trees

[acespoliticalwaffles]

Please watch the whole thing instead of taking the title and running with it! I thought this was interesting and important, especially if you donate to tree-planting charities, because it gives you ways to sort out which ones are helpful and which ones aren’t.

Also, a link to the re-greening organization discussed in the video cause it sounds great:

Arbor Day

Today, National Arbor Day, observed on the last Friday in April and celebrated in all 50 states, I’m celebrating SOUL, (Sustaining Our Urban Landscape) a group reforesting the urban landscape of New Orleans. 🌳 The official birthplace of Arbor Day is Nebraska City, Nebraska, brought about by the tree-loving secretary of the Nebraska Territory, and in 1872 when he proposed a tree planting…

Wollemi pines (Wollemia nobilis) have been found the Cretaceous era and were thought to be extinct. 60 Wollemi pines trees were found in Wollemi National Park.

A little happy playtime music for children about planting trees.

Decided to check out Ecosia today, I'll try to now use it as much as I can for school.

People who have Spotify!

I just found out about this!

Streaming this song magically plants trees 🌲 🌳

More info under cut!

Infomation taken from their website: You can plant trees for free using Spotify.

We made a second audio clip where all the revenue goes to planting trees

Sounds too good to be true. How does this work?

Everytime you listen to a song on a streaming service it earns a tiny bit of cash for it's creator.

We use that money to plant trees.

So far we've planted 23,000 trees in Kenya, Madagascar and Mozambique. With your help we can plant 1000s more.

It's the world's first MP-Tree

There are two different ways to plant trees

The first is by adding a 31 second spoken-word audio clip to your playlists

We'll plant a tree for every 100 or so streams.

So add this song to every playlist and offset your music streaming.

Alternatively listen to our calming background noise loops.

They are perfect for to mask distractions and block off annoying sounds while you study, work, relax or sleep

Streaming for about 2 hours will plant 1 tree

NEW: Sleep 8 hours? That will plant ~4 trees

I like to have background noise on while I sleep.

It blocks out distractions.

Many scientific studies show that masking noise can aid sleep, concentration and focus and possibly relieve ADHD symptoms.

That's why we've added white, brown andpink noise to Spotify.

We're also starting to add nature sounds.

Streaming for about 2 hours will plant 1 tree

Tune out distractions with our relaxing background noise.

Background noise isn't just for sleep. People stream it while they are working, studying or meditating.

If you're listening to background noise choose the option that also plants trees.

New rule: the question 'what does this society need' must always be answered with 'more trees'!

Preparing Paris today for the climate of 2050: a vital challenge, by Anne Hidalgo, Mayor of Paris

Paris was not built for the heat waves that pass through it. It is therefore our responsibility to rethink the Capital of France through its insulation, its shaded areas, its biodiversity, to enable a breathable life today and for tomorrow.

The winter drought we are going through is historic. In the middle of winter, we are already short of water[1]. It sounds crazy. This is however the reality. And this winter drought is just one manifestation of accelerating climate change.

In Flassans-sur-Issole (Var), the river was completely dry on February 21

The question for our cities is as simple as it is dizzying: how can we transform ourselves to resist such climatic shocks and enable citizens of all ages and social classes to continue living there in the coming years?

Our cities were not built to withstand such a climate. Historically, Paris is a dense city of concrete, which was not designed to face tropical nights and ever more frequent and numerous heat waves. However, this is what awaits it, with a fivefold increase in heat waves by 2100, and potential temperature peaks of 50°C according to scientists from Grec francilien[2], a group of experts for the climate.

Fortunately, we did not wait to act in Paris in the face of the arrival of these extreme climatic phenomena.

We anticipated, we looked for solutions to refresh the city and protect the inhabitants. How ? By massively planting trees because, studies show us, they are our best allies in dealing with climate change. More trees in the city means reducing deaths directly linked to heat waves by a third. By rethinking the place of water in the city.[3] By protecting yourself from the sun thanks to the deployment of shades. By renovating our buildings. By creating new green spaces and opening parks at night when it's too hot.

Anticipating also means preparing to face these mega heat waves. This is the objective of the information and assessment mission on the 50°C in Paris which will deliver its conclusions in April, and of the major crisis exercise that we will conduct in the fall to simulate an extreme heat wave and find out how to react as effectively as possible to protect the inhabitants and in particular the most vulnerable.

But we must go even further, accelerate and change scale to rethink everything, absolutely everything, in the light of global warming.

This is the ambition of our climate plan: to set a very clear operational roadmap, with quantified objectives, a precise and tight timetable to accelerate the reduction of our emissions and the adjustment of Paris.

General mobilisation cannot wait any longer. All our cities must transform faster. And they need to be supported. The survival of all people living in the city depends on it, and they are the vast majority in France and around the world. Our health is at stake.

It is also a question of equality and social justice, because as with all crises, the most fragile are the most exposed. We must rethink everything to reduce inequalities, reorganise our relationship to food, housing, our ways of travel. It is our responsibility towards young people, our duty for the future. You can count on Paris to rise to the occasion and make this ecological transition a revolution to live better and in good health.

Faced with an alarming water shortage, the country is preparing for a difficult summer. Beyond the plan prepared by the government, the question of the distribution of uses will arise. https://www.liberation.fr/environnement/climat/restrictions-deau-a-qui-la-flotte-20230228_XNZ5DQ54QNBNVLYTJQN4N2KKNI/

Its main objective is to facilitate and promote the taking into account in decision-making of scientific research and knowledge on climate and biodiversity., https://grec-idf.eu/

[3] Planting more trees in the city could reduce mortality from urban heat waves by a third. According to a study published in the scientific journal The Lancet, if the vegetation cover of a city could reach 30% of its surface, this could reduce the number of premature deaths linked to summer heat waves by a third. https://www.liberation.fr/environnement/climat/planter-plus-darbres-en-ville-pourrait-reduire-dun-tiers-la-mortalite-due-aux-canicules-urbaines-20230201_EX37O6LPJNFNTCG2MAGZDZFBC4/

From little acorns mighty oaks grow

[justinmooreus]

Every week, it appears as though there is fresh information about climate change. Increased carbon dioxide emissions are likely the most fundamental factor in current global instability.
