"Right now we cut down about 15 billion trees a year," Flash Forest co-founder Bryce Jones tells me.

"We have wildfires, exacerbated by climate change, and this only increases the demand for reforestation."

These drones can plant trees faster than we can.

In a bid to restore forests and fight climate change, Flast Forest is a Canadian start-up with an aim to plant 1 billion trees by 2028, using drones and aerial mapping.

“Right now we cut down about 15 billion trees a year,” Flash Forest co-founder Bryce Jones tells me. “We have wildfires, exacerbated by climate change, and this only increases the demand for reforestation.”

Here’s how tech can carry out reforestation in a flash, from the latest CNN Tech For Good.

希臘第二大島Evia 野火失控，總理 Mitsotakis 形容這場森林大火規模史無前例。大火吞噬了大片松樹林、住宅以及商店，上千人被迫從海上撤離逃命。煙霧和灰燼擋住了太陽，天空被染成了一片橘紅色。

Treating yourself with carbon offsets is apparently soothing for climate anxiety. (With 2020 vision?) Nature N8 calculates his carbon footprint and shops for the cheapest offset. But the retail therapy concludes that carbon offsets are very... off.

This is a podcast about how NOT to save the environment. Hosted by Nature N8 (Nate Maynard), an environmental researcher working on energy, ocean, and waste issues.

Welcome to our final episode of our Hawai'i 5-0 trip!

In 2009, sustainable forestry company HLH, planted a single koa tree on the slopes of Mauna Kea. Since then, thousands of individuals have joined in the reforestation effort by planting more than 400,000 rare, endemic trees creating nearly 1,200 acres of pristine native habitat. This land is now known as the @hawaiianlegacyforest.

If there’s something else that @joelebosi loves, it is mountains and volcanoes.
Mauna Kea is a dormant volcano and is the highest peak in the Hawaiian islands. When measured from its oceanic base, it is the tallest mountain in the world rising to 13, 796 feet above sea level.
Our tour guide Bear of @arnottslodgeandhikingadventure , was very patient, informative and entertaining. Plus, he was an expert driving us up to the summit safely and in comfort inside his 4wd (some roads were really bumpy and steep!).

Finally, the ultimate surprise for Azmi as we glide high in the skies. Enjoy and comment below ... we'd love to hear from you!
