TIL that in 1935 the US Government planted 220 million trees in 7 years to combat Dust storms. It was a huge success and if it was repeated today it would help in the fight against the climate crisis immensly.

Don’t let anyone tell you there’s nothing our governments can do to combat climate change. They can. They simply choose not to, because they don’t consider anything worth doing unless it’s immediately profitable. Profit takes precedence over progress. This has not only caused virtually every environmental problem we’re facing, but it’s also why our entire society is stagnating under a culture of consumerism and disposable commodities.

This is referring to the CCC (civilian conservation corps), basically a tree planting army under FDR. Overall they planted about 3 billion trees all over the country, it was so successful that most Americans really don’t know that a solid chunk of their forests are only about 100-85 year old new growths. Volunteer conservationist groups nowadays could potentially recreate this at a notably smaller scale if the government were to provide a store of local seeds and land to remediate.
