1. Buying 1'000m² of land for example costs about 1'000 Euro. Small areas are not good for farmers. Alternatively, 25m2 (= 100 trees / 8 years) in the far corner of your garden is enough.
2. Collect PET bottles, e.g. Volvic, as high as possible. In other words simply do not return bottles.
3. Build a shelter, against slugs, grasshoppers, caterpillars, mice and wind, so that neither the young leaves are eaten off, nor the small trees grow crooked.
4. Collect tree seeds from deep-rooted trees in the fall (full list on Reclue.com) [duration: 1h / 1'000 pieces]
5. Just leave the tree seeds outside over the winter to plant only those that germinate.
6. Cut the PET bottles at the top (open cylinder) and make a hole at 2/3 height as drainage of too much water. Plant the germinating seeds in the PET bottles
7. Buy KG pipes (160mm outer diameter [equivalent to 160 "dn"]). Buy a suitable earth drill with 2m length + 1m handle. Request credit from us here if necessary. Also buy a wooden rod with 15cm diameter and cut it into slices with 3cm height each. Buy bitumen, paint the wood completely and seal each KG pipe below waterproof as follows. Using 3 wood screws, screw a wooden disc in the middle of the KG pipe at the bottom and then seal the last millimeter of gap with bitumen if necessary.
8. Drill the holes for the KG pipes sealed watertight at the bottom with the earth drill. [Duration on sand: a sporty 5min / pipe]
9. After one year, plant the deep-rooted trees one by one in a KG tube. (With the PET bottles, you have the advantage of increasing the yield per area by 4/3 or 8/5 for the first and possibly second year, while the large area with the KG tubes is only used for those trees that already form deep roots.
10. Buy thin bamboo canes and tie the young trunk to these bamboo canes whenever it has grown back, so that the trunk becomes as straight as possible. Likewise, cut off the lateral shoots/branches in the fall so that the trunk becomes as tall as possible without lateral branches.
11. After 8 years (the taproot of the oak grows about 2m into the ground during this time) you can offer the tree for sale. This will bring you about 40€ (net, in other words after taxes) per tree.
12. When a buyer is found (Reclue will work as a sales platform), then simply pull the trees out of the ground with a crane by the KG pipe, pierce the KG longitudinally through the soil to loosen it up, and hence you can pull the tree out of the KG pipe. Then plant immediately: Use auger to make new hole + hang tree over it and fill with moist soil. If necessary, tamp down the soil step by step. Then place a garbage bag with a small hole for watering to the last convex s20cm.

The glass house was donated to the project - it would otherwise have been scrapped. Here in the photo the panes at the sides are still missing; on the roof no panes come, so that the rain falls directly into the bottles. With the panes on the sides, however, caterpillars, snails, grasshoppers and also: mice, as well as wind can be kept away from the young oaks. Although this might not succeed to 100%, so however to a large extent and that makes a lot of difference. On the left in the photo still over 300 bottles are stored - on the right the bottles in the glass house are cut off above, provided with waste water hole on 2/3 height and buried. Four acorns are in each bottle i.e. one in each corner. Hence, one needs only 200 bottles for 800 oaks/year. And if the state does not grant any subsidies for the KG-pipes, the young oaks can also be grown in this way for two years, while the bottles are pulled out with pliers, cut off at the bottom and placed on a new bottle prepared in this way. A bit of waterproof tape then holds both bottles on top of each other. The ingenious aspect of this concept is that no water is needed on site, no water source, but the rainwater is stored directly in the bottles, so that it cannot seep away downwards. The majority is stored hence.

Bottle on the far right: deposit garbage, next to it on the left: Head cut off, hole for drainage of too much water at 2/3 height, even further left: Logo removed (so that neither theft is worthwhile and likewise no foil flies around as plastic garbage) - far left: Auger for the next bottle already set.

In the picture there are 300 planted acorns, which as trees will take 3,300 t of CO2 out of the air. Next year, 1,000 more will be planted (11,000 t CO2 less). In the fall of 2024 these will come (1) in KG pipes, (2) 8 years later out of the ground together with the KG pipe and will be exposed. That's just 2 more steps! When will you start contributing?

And really anyone can do it. For every 100 new oak trees planted, anthropogenic climate change is stopped worldwide for one second, i.e. the restructuring of the infrastructure has gained time. So if you plant 45'000 new oak trees in your life, you will stop the global problem for a full 5 minutes. 288 tough people manage a day together. 105'120 tough people worldwide stopped the problem 100% for a whole year. That would only be 105 people per nation. Let's say 10 people per state. Makeable.

Rail best laid with template for constant spacing. You don't need much concrete, but potassium silicate to insulate against water is important against the frost in winter, so that the concrete does not crack due to expanding ice.

The door is essentially a tub of aluminum panels, reinforced with L-sections. This is insulated to be watertight so that no water is lost here either. Thus, the bushes inside have enough water even in dry summers - important, as they would otherwise dry out.

To keep the door light, it is wise to use largely expanded clay instead of soil, as it has a density of only 300kg/m² instead of >1,000kg/m² of wet soil.

To cause that the water by capillary force nevertheless always reaches the earth layer lying above the expanded clay, I have made these two heaps, which consist only of earth and by which the water can always rise from the lowest layer into the uppermost layer of the earth.

In addition, I have placed fine clay crumbs as a layer between the expanded clay and the earth layer, so that the earth does not simply sag away under the lighter expanded clay.

To cause that nobody - even if he knows that there is a door here - can open this door, there is a bolt, which consists of two aluminum tubes, which are pushed into each other. The inside is then the bolt - the outside ensures that the inner tube can be moved freely. There is no law as theft-proof as this door. Thus, the problem of regular theft has been completely prevented so far.

Finally, the tub is simply planted with any bushes rooting as shallowly as possible. The door grows closed over the coming years. Today it is so light that you can pull and push it loosely with one arm. Required force for pushing xkg weight is 4% of xkg.

1. Investment for the beginning: about 1'000€ for area, 150€ auger, 15€ per KG pipe = first generation tree, 1 month time


then yearly:

2. 80€ income per tree, of which 40€ in taxes to the state, then 3% interest to us for loans for initial investments if necessary, remaining for the first generation about 30€ / tree
3. from the second generation it is 40€ / tree in net profit (at 500, resp. 800 trees / year this is 20'000€, resp. 32'000€)
