Scientists say the best way to mitigate climate change is to reforest an area the size of the United States. This would capture two-thirds of the planet's greenhouse gas emissions.
Tom Crowther, a professor at the Crowther Lab, a research group in Zurich, Switzerland, encourages tree planting and donations to tree-planting efforts. “All other solutions require either a change in behavior from all of us, or a top-down decision by a politician who may or may not believe in global warming, or a scientific discovery that we don’t have yet.” The Crowther Lab website features a world map with advice on what types of trees to plant.
