Guest thebigdog Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 they should be planting hemp in place of the cut down trees, it removes 4 tons of CO2 for every 1 ton removed be a regular tree/plant. plus it has a ton of uses. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scothunter 12,609 Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 That's why they planted rakes of it at Chernobyl bigdog. It can handle more poisons than a regular plant, and also cleans the air. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Malt 379 Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 Great that they are being educated, but what other people do in their own country is up to them at the end of the day. It'd be a crying shame if the rainforests of the world were gone, but I don't hold with the likes of us telling these countries that they cant cut their own forests down when we have all but wiped our own native forests off our maps..

JMO.. Difficult to dissagree with that Malt. It'll be even harder to dictate to them green living over the coming years, Brazil is set to boom and I doubt the rainforest will be allowed to get in the way of their economys progress. Let's hope they are a bit more conservation minded than Britain has been in the past. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
