15. What a great idea.

Millions of Americans go into the forest every week. If a trend is started to bring a few seedlings with you and plant them, the impact could be huge. Provide people with a little knowledge on what to plant and where and the impact would be bigger. There is so much abandoned farmland in this country that is now just fields. Filling in thousands of those fields with trees would have a tangible impact on the environment.

Trees are a huge weapon to fight global warming. They also clean the water, control erosion, promote wild life, and can even help the weather.

I for one am going to follow your lead, it would be easy enough to nurture some seedlings from the trees in our yards and then pplant them in the wild when I get the chance.
