14<\/sup><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nAdditionally, a group planting trees in urban places is Trees for Cities. They planted their millionth tree last year, working since 1993.15<\/sup> They work globally too and focus on urban areas, for instance planting to shield schools from air pollution and smart planting that reduces the number of extreme floods. Also, they plant tree nurseries in Rwanda, where children learn to care for the trees and sell fruits and seedlings through cooperatives. This group targets cities that are vital to consider as well as the carbon stocks of forests and rural trees.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nTo sum up, the best global tree planting initiatives above have huge pledges and effective local solutions. Planting trees is an integral part of mitigating climate change which is economically effective. Benefits also include limiting greenhouse gas emissions, capturing carbon, and stabilizing soil. Trees have a positive effect on the global environment through potentially absorbing 25% of atmospheric carbon dioxide 16<\/sup> and also for local people who benefit from trees improving degraded land and reducing desertification. In addition to all the positive effects of trees, people also need to be aware that planting trees is not the only solution to global warming. Trees need time to grow and then absorb carbon. It is, therefore, more important to protect existing forests and nature than to plant new ones.<\/p>\r\nReferences<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWoodland Trust. Climate Change The Woodland Trust’s view.
