I think they are selling themselves short with just wanting to plant a trillion trees. I think double that should be the goal once they start looking at other less appealing areas, and better forest management.
At the end of the day CLT allows you to take those trees and extend their lifespan in terms of sequestering carbon for much longer. Potentially decades longer. Suddenly you have 25% more trees actively sucking carbon or simply storing it without needing more area to actually plant the trees.
Bizarre that we aren't throwing money at this like a madman.
