Core problem: too much CO2 in the air.


Although this causes directly only a minimal increase in temperature worldwide, it ensures that 7% more water vapor accumulates in the air; thus, on average, an increase from 70% to 77%. Water vapor is itself a greenhouse gas 4 times more potent than CO2 (hence, in a recursive series, adding up to about ∑[i = 0, ∞] (7%*4)^(i) = 1.389-fold). Thus, the temperature already increases more due to the feedback alone due to water vapor. Now there are many such feedback effects, from burning forest due to drought, receding area of ice at the poles so that more heat is absorbed here… And these feedback effects, in turn, all reinforce each other as well. Consequently, that little bit of CO2 has an enormous impact.
Just talking about it doesn't change anything.
It is necessary to achieve in practice that less CO2 is emitted into the atmosphere and that CO2 is taken out of the air again. Less in, more out!
The latter is totally neglected so far, but it is so simple that everybody can contribute to it.

B5a


Each tree binds up to 11t of CO2 in its lifetime.
With each tree nursery over 1,000m², 500 or 800 deep-rooted plants can be grown every 8 years. Deep-rooted plants are plants whose roots also reach into the depth (e.g. English oak: 10m). These are less susceptible to dry periods.
That makes 24'000 trees within the next 50 years and hence 250'000t CO2 less in their lifetime. For the operation of such a tree nursery hardly any effort is needed, it actually only has to be set up once (duration: 1 to 2 months) and once at the end of autumn the lateral branches of all trees have to be removed, as well as those 500 to 800 trees have to be planted out (duration: 14 days / year).
And certainly the nursery can be operated for generations. Everywhere the forest burns and the, due to republic failure (over the fiscal forcing efficiency at the expense of prudence with hence gigantic damage) to the climate change become a crisis is over the next 10'000 years a problem (risk), since the half-life of CO2 under light from the sun is nowmal approx. 10'000 years long.
For every 250 nurseries (only 25 ha) per federal state we thus achieve 1GT less CO2 in the air.


The exact concept


  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.

Is this only a small project?


Perhaps you are now saying:
"That causes so little that one does not have to begin at all."
But that would then also apply to every demo sign and every solar cell.
So the question is how many of you who are interested in climate protection will join in. 1GT CO2 less in the air is a lot.
So what is the potential which we can measure?
