Amazing 😮 Reposted from @freedom_faction - Thoughts? Human hands can’t #PlantTrees fast enough to keep up with #industrialdeforestation These drones can plant trees 10 times faster at a fraction of the cost. The math is simple. #Humans are #CuttingDown 15 billion trees a year and #Replanting only 9 billion, creating an annual net loss of 6 billion trees. #PlantingTrees by hand is time consuming and expensive, making it difficult to keep up with bulldozers clear-cutting over 40 football fields of #Trees every minute. We’ve had impressive efforts, such as India planting 66 million trees in a day, but that was a large-scale event, which required organizing millions of volunteers. It would be difficult to recreate something like that on a regular basis. Luckily, a former #NASAEngineer has developed drones that can plant 100,000 trees per day each. Multiply that by 165 drones, and we could easily fill the 6-billion-tree gap we face each year. The drones, designed by the U.K. startup #BioCarbonEngineering are far more efficient than humans at planting trees for several reasons: 1. They’re faster. At about one tree per second, they can plant trees ten times as fast as a human could. 2. They’re cheaper. Drones do the job at about 20 percent of the cost of humans, according to the #WorldEconomicForum 3. They can plant where humans can’t. Because there is no heavy machinery involved, drones can plant in hard-to-reach areas that have no roads or steep, inaccessible terrain. 4. They may have higher success/survival rates. When humans scatter seeds, it’s hard to tell how many will actually sprout and grow into trees. The drones use #Technology to increase the odds, gathering and analyzing all sorts of information, such as surface topology, surface composition, #Soil type, and moisture in the area, to avoid planting in places seeds would be doomed from the start. #DronePlantingTrees is a two part process: First, one drone scans the terrain and develops a 3-D map of the area. The BioCarbon Engineering team uses the map to develop a unique planting pattern. #BetterAir #FasterGrowth #TreesAreTerriffic 🖐🏾 ��🏾#IAm_MsJohnson 💞 - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/BvQDAynBTMW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=rur03qnu1aq1

Star Wars: A New Hope- Environment Style
In a galaxy, not really far away, a UK company called BioCarbon Engineering may have just found a new way to fight the forces of deforestation:  seed bombing drones. However, these are not the drones you are looking for...like with any new invention they still contain their flaws but CEO Lauren Fletcher believes that the company will be able to eventually work out these kinks and have these drones able to plant 36,000 a day, faster than anything human is able to.  Although this technique has not been used on a large scale area yet, the Force is strong with this one....
