We have 27 rainy seasons to stop desertification

Get on Ecosia and be climate active every day: www.ecosia.org/
Welcome to Tree-Update 40! Here’s the truth: time is running out to stop further disasters caused by climate change.
But there is still a lot that we can do. We have about 27 rainy seasons left to change the tide and our partners, like @HommesetTerre, are proving that it can be done, even in one of the most desertified places in the world.
Tree Update 40 lets you in on why most tree-planting pledges never work and why you should pay attention to ‘Ecosia’s ABC of Tree Planting’.
Join us for all this and much, much more 🫰

"Treeplanting is not just about trees" so true. Also, we should ask these corporations and billionaires who pledge to plant tress regularly to show us videos and pictures of those trees they allegedly planted. Often, this is just greenwashing and PR and noting else.

Thanks for the comment and for watching ✨ The main problem is that often tree pledges are not well thought through. Institutions and corporations might mean well, but there's SO much to think about to make sure the tree is in the right place and has long-term benefits.

This transparency is actually what we need, I'm very glad that Ecosia is making these videos.

[@pisscow6395]

If it weren't for organizations like this so many animals and communities would be struggling. I think the worst part is that others who pretend to care only do so when it's convent or profitable, and for that reason I think when climate change begins to make the world inhabitable for billionaires, then they'll scrape together some pocket change for something to be done... Without Ecosia and other organizations, much more would be lost before this happens

[@ia8018]

There won't be billionaires in the future. Thankfully!

[@Debbie-henri]

Yes, and plenty of people always go nuts with gratitude when a multi billionaire throws a few million into a charity, without realising just how much a few million represents to someone who has 40 billion or so.

[@mynamejeff3545]

Well, time to ramp up the tree-planting! Looking at the financial reports, you have over 15 million in your tree fund, but the amount of trees planted hasn't increased much. The tree counter, which was slowed down during the height of the pandemic to reflect slower tree planting as a result of lockdowns, still isn't back to pre-covid levels. I hope you have something spectacular planned, because that money in the tree fund isn't very useful if it's not spent on trees!

[@joaquimbarbosa896]

The counter is something that allways bothers me, specially since its an average, not a real number

[@Ecosia]

Hey there! Thanks for watching and the observations. You are totally right about the fund, we are looking into ramping up the tree-planting. Sometimes it all takes longer because weather patterns are changing and we'd rather plant trees smartly than in masses. But stay put for more on that in the future! Cheers and thanks again

[@Ecosia]

@@joaquimbarbosa896 Interesting. Can you elaborate, what worries you about the counter?

[@joaquimbarbosa896]

@@Ecosia That during the pandemic the speed got reduced and never changed since

[@Debbie-henri]

​@@EcosiaPlanting in an intelligent, well-planned way is certainly best; and yes, the fast changing weather patterns are forcing some of us to re-think our methods. Due to greatly increased incidence of storms, I've had to stop planting the types of tree I was, return to the hedge row I had initially planted, begin doubling its width and planting another separate hedgerow to run several feet apart but parallel to it. To me, it seems that as soon as I get a system sorted out, so I need to make a change because the weather patterns changes, or a new pathogen starts killing the trees (I've had all the joy of seeing hundreds of young, frontier Ash die in a single year. Still have a few survivors - amazingly - but it meant a change of plan. Now, I'm just planting trees on a very small patch of land, but my local problems scale up, and I've seen significant losses encountered in other nearby schemes (whether it be the completely unnatural sustained drought we had last Spring/Summer or new pests and diseases extending their range into the country). You have to keep thinking of ways to keep ahead of the game and anticipate worse case scenarios. What if drought hits again? What if storms increase? Would time be better spent tapping into this spring and creating swales for a while longer? Thing is, we domestic tree planters and guerrilla gardeners look to videos to see if we can use some of the techniques, or adapt techniques used. For example, I can't 'dig' a swale or dig these little arc structures for planting in (soil too thin and rocky), but I can 'build' such structures on top of what soil I have. I began to suspect this might be a way to do things when I saw what effect one of my compost heaps at the top of my field had. On the uppermost side, it was all dried grass and weeds, on the lower side it was green, lush and the compost damp. I started to build these little horseshoe shapes when I saw a project in Nigeria with the same shapes I'd created. Theirs was an ancient technique brought back from the past, mine was a discovery through observation. This is why I don't knock KZbin like some people do. This platform offers a great chance of sharing important knowledge, and allows us to help each other get this job done. It's not a race, it mustn't be. As the saying goes - quality rather than quantity. Everything has to be done properly, modifying techniques to stay ahead of the dizzying amount of change we're witnessing now.

[@b_uppy]

Very nice on the planting depression. Looks like they follow the contours very well. This will provide the extra support through more rainwater captured to the trees' planting area. It's a relief to see. One caveat: I have found that in the temperate desert where I live the plants often refuse to grow beyond the edge of the dug out area. So if they expand the width of these planting depressions, it will likely help the trees grow larger. I have seen in other areas where you have planted a variety of trees and I applaud your foresight. Hard to tell in rhe example at the end if it is a polyculture of trees or a monoculture. (Do realize there are other plants for support). I think the more important point is how trees *build soil,* supply support for other plants, provide food/feed and useful materials, flood control, shade, beauty, etc.

[@russellpengilley5924]

Hi from Kenya, there are direct solar boilers and ovens to use off grid, but they are not convenient to use, so adoption is low. Cows and goats are often culturally important, so biogas goes well with that. Current costs to build a single family biogas unit for 1-2 cows which covers the cooking of 3-5 adults is US$800-900. I don't know how much it would be for a community one, or how the gas would be safely transported to individual homes. (In some areas of Pakistan they use large bag balloons, but filled from a pressurised tank). It's difficult to raise US$800 for a single family, but possible and schemes that can sell carbon credits to offset the cost are looking most likely to succeed.

Climate change and rising sea levels will make properties in low lying areas and coastal areas impossible to insure. Banks will be reluctant to give a mortgage for 15 or 30 years because the property may be under water. Selling properties to average buyers will become impossible in the future as banks and mortgage companies stop making loans for these properties. Florida is a high risk state for insurance and extreme weather like hurricanes. People will have to self insure and take the risk of loss. Condo associations are losing their insurance and if they find a new higher cost policy they will be passing on the higher costs to association members. Flooded cars from Florida hurricanes were filling the salvage lots. Insurance companies will raise rates and pass on the costs and risks to policy holders next year.
