Saving trees is one of the best ways of saving the environment reports The Economist. Worldwide, over 5m hectares of jungle—getting on for two Belgiums—are still being felled or burned down each year. ...encouraging countries to plant trees (or discouraging them from logging) is by far the most effective way of reducing greenhouse-gas emissions. Rich countries spend billions on renewable energy at home, which has so far cut carbon emissions only a bit. They should be willing to spend a few millions abroad, protecting tropical forests that reduce emissions a lot.
