The Biden administration has unveiled plans to plant more than 1 billion trees over millions of acres of national forests in an effort to address a reforestation backlog and to fight climate change.
:biden-harbinger: you all claim I have done nothing, here are one billion things :DaBiden:
They also don't do the one thing that's needed, which is to reclaim land from private owners to give the forests room to grow. Planting trees is not the important part, they plant themselves when they have room. Planting trees is a product of needing to cram increasing amounts of trees into limited space. "Repairing Existing Public Land" is just a holding action if you aren't also appropriating new public land. Just like building more renewable energy doesn't mean shit if you aren't aggressively shutting down fossil fuel plants.
