#reforest

The 'Reforest' card game from Firestarter Games arrived to my doorstep not too long ago.

Snowy daisy-bush - Olearia lirata. 🌳 To see the seeds spread naturally in the wind is one of nature’s many wonders. It can snow seeds in the summer here. 🌳 🌳 🌳 #snowydaisybush #daisy #bush #peninsula #reforest #snow #seed #propagation #nativeplants (at Mornington Peninsula National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmSmH39PeFJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Any of us can follow his methods and build forests too.

I planted these mangroves 6 months ago in the anticipation of my air travel this year. Today I came back from a return flight to Melbourne from Cairns, Australia. The journey was 4,626km and totalled 6 hours in the air. 6 hours in a medium domestic aeroplane is responsible for 0.82 tonnes of CO2 emissions. Let's round that up to 1 tonne of CO2, for argument's sake. -- It takes about 6 or 7 trees to offset 1 tonne of C02 and the mangroves pictured here, once established, will sequester four times that of a rainforest tree. So planting these 35 mangroves is equivalent to planting 140 rainforest trees (in terms of carbon storage). That will store 21 tonnes of C02! Which means I could've done this return flight 21 times over...but I won't. -- With mangroves, most of this carbon is stored in the soil beneath the trees while providing countless benefits for coastal communities. They act as storm barriers, protecting inland areas from flooding and erosion by dissipating the energy of big waves and king tides. They help filter river water of pollutants and trap excess sediment before it reaches the ocean. Their role as fish nurseries is important and up here in The Wet Tropics of Queensland they will benefit the Earth's largest living structure -- the Great Barrier Reef. -- I'll be planting these next week after some rain but they'll be spread out over a 10m2 plot of eroded coastal mangrove near the Daintree River in order to win back some land in the battle against the exploitation of our rivers from cattle grazing. -- -- If you don't have the ease of planting mangroves yourself, you can offset your carbon footprint in many other ways, usually if I have to travel I use @cncfaus's carbon calculator to offset the travel. -- -- #mangrove #mangroverestoration #rainforest #climatechange #conservation #globalwarming #sustainability #planttrees #environment #nature #reforest #coralreef #deforestation #greatbarrierreef #wettropics #daintree (at Wet Tropics World Heritage Area) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwJRAFLHqCP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=x9n5bea94scx
