Ask someone what the best way to fight climate change in the future will be and they might mention smog-eating buildings, or burying large amounts of captured greenhouse gases. A new study from Oxford University says that planting trees, and improving soil conditions are actually the best ways to fight climate change. Improving soil and planting trees will help the atmosphere no matter what, and have no risk involved, while those aforementioned options should really only be seen as a sort of last resort, and a means for the global community to keep the earth from warming above two degrees Celsius. Even though Earth day isn’t for a few more months, any day is a good day to plant a tree.
