Last November, the Turkish government oversaw the planting of 11 million trees in a single day. One Turkish city broke a world record for the number of trees planted in an hour. So, why we are not planting our trees?

 Republican lawmakers proposed that they should plant a trillion trees by 2050.

If it works, the impact could be significant. The nonprofit World Resources Institute has calculated that it’s possible to grow 60 billion new trees in the next two decades.

Of course, it’s only one part of the solution to climate change. Some scientists have argued that mass tree-planting and conservation is a dangerous diversion if it means that countries aren’t steeply reducing emissions from fossil fuels, the biggest lever in addressing the problem.
