Landscape scale reforestation is proven, cost effective and shovel-ready; indeed, forests are the most effective carbon sinks on earth. With reforestation we can reduce global warming by 0.5脗掳C by the end of the century. Restore the Earth芒鈧劉s 1 million acre reforestation in the Mississippi River Basin 芒鈧淣orth America芒鈧劉s Amazon, reduces the U.S. climate footprint by 2 percent, generating $12 billion in environmental, economic, and social value while also producing 200 million metric tons of carbon emissions reduction. Working with nature and reforesting at landscape scale is the most powerful tool we have in our arsenal to curb our carbon emissions and address climate change.
