Tree Bombing

TREE BOMBING An Ingenious and Elegant Solution Tree bombing, also known as aerial forestation, is a concept that has been around for many years, but is not yet widely known. Despite its obscurity, tree bombing holds tremendous promise. Proposed technologies could enable up to 900,000 trees to be planted in one day using a single plane, making tree bombing an excellent candidate for helping to reduce CO2 already in our atmosphere. 335 WHAT IS TREE BOMBING? The idea originated from RAF pilot Jack Walters and is now being pursued by Lockheed Martin and Aerial Forestation Inc. Tree bombing presents a cost effective solution for Governments The bombing process utilizes old C-130 military planes to drop seed bombs into and companies with large carbon footprints to offset their CO2 output without the cost of hiring tree planters for months at a time. deforested areas. An experienced tree planter can plant around 1,500 trees in one day. ЗДЗ A tree bomber can plant 600 times as many trees per run as a single experienced tree plante it would take 20 workers one month to plant as many trees as a tree bomber can plant in a single run. HOW DOES IT WORK? The area where the tree bombs land is usually an area that has been through deforestation. The C-130 cargo plane, originally used by the military as a land mine carpet bomber, is used to drop tree bombs instead of land mines. The low-flying planes can be flown at 1,000 ft and fly at 150 mph. The tree bombs are cones that quickly biodegrade allowing the roots to absorb into the soil. The tree bombs impact the ground at 200 mph and are positioned to bury themselves as if they were planted by hand. More than Seedling *3,000 Soil Leaf Shroud Biodegradable Container cones can be planted in one minute. In 1 day with 1 plane: About and 125,000 900,000 trees are planted for each deployment, total trees can be planted total. Who pays for it all? Major industrial pollution giants, such as power plants. "Seed bombing" has a similar purpose to tree SEED bombing but can be used in regions that could not sustain trees. New techiques and technologies are BOMBS similarly making seed bombing a more feasible solution for offsetting CO2. Jin-wook Hwang, a South Korean designer, designed a modern seed bomb to be used on a much larger scale. How it works: The seed bomb contains multiple smaller seed capsules. Each capsule contains seeds, soil and nutrients. O The seed capsule stays with the plant for the first stage of its life and serves as a small. The plants continue to grow and the seed capsules biodegrade. protecting greenhouse. Hwang plans to drop these seed bombs into sparse areas in order to help the environment and improve landscapes. Plants from seed bombs don't absorb as much CO2 as trees, but through the process of photosynthesis their net impact can still be significant. Light Energy Carbon Dioxide Охуgen Water ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF TREE BOMBING Planting trees is one of the cheapest and most effective ways to remove Co2 from the atmosphere. Lockheed claims that tree bombing will allow them to plant 1 billion saplings, or 3,000 square miles in one year. Over 50 years a tree can: ovide $31,250 worth of oxygen, generate $62,000 worth of air pollution control, recycle $37,500 worth of water and control $32,250 worth of soil erosion. One mature tree can: absorb 48 lbs of CO2 in one year and it can release enough 02 for two human beings. 900,000 trees planted in one pass by a tree bomber can absorb: 21,600 which is equal to the yearly CO2 emissions of 3,600 cars. tons of CO2 in one year Sources: http://www.greenmuze.com/blogs/eco-geek/3152-aerial-tree-bombing-plan-.html http://www.takepart.com/news/2010/10/19/just-asking-will- tree-bombing-counteract-deforestation-andsave-the-planet http://www.treehugger.com/files/2010/10/old-military-planes- drop-900000-tree-bombs-day.php http://www.coloradotrees.org/benefits.htm#carbon http://www.cartalk.com/content/features/carbon/interview.html WellHome.
