And that is pretty much copping out on putting in place a real solution and kicking the can further down the road. You can only plant so many trees on an acre. The soil and watershed can only support so many plants. Then there are areas where trees are not meant to grow. The idea of planting trees is a wonderful idea in principle, until you start looking at the ecological impact of such a plan. While it is better than nothing, larger more comprehensive plans need to be developed and implemented as soon as possible. The time for kicking cans down the road was so 1970s.
