Reforest now

What is the value of Organic Matter for Agriculture, Forestry, Home gardens, Residential neighborhoods and Commercial properties? OM is a product of the decomposition of all living matter by living things. If the soil is devoid of life then OM will be lost. Poisoning the soil with pesticides such as soil fumigants and toxic wastes such as petroleum derivatives will destroy the soil ecology. If a soil is healthy with a good quantity of OM, minerals, porous and free of toxic components, it can sustain healthy roots and plants above it. The economics of a Nation depends on a healthy soil to sustain its growth. A politics that does not support this economics will fail to sustain its people.
What happens when communities fail to protect the soil beneath their feet? Suppose the people elect a government that allows unrestricted logging of the forests, damming of rivers, burning of open ground, plantation farming, unregulated industry polluting the land and water, pesticides leaching into the land and water. This has already happened in America and continues to happen now as I write.
All these activities accelerate the loss of a precious resource, the Soil, into rivers into the Sea. Much of the OM is sent to estuaries and river deltas where marine bacteria and diatoms use it in profusion causing eutrophication along with added nitrogen and phosphorus. These are not isolated incidents but a worldwide phenomenon. It is an ecological catastrophe that threatens human life on Earth. You may ask how and why?
Like any ecosystem the Ocean takes time to recycle minerals and Carbon from all the rivers emptying wastes from farms, cities, towns, industries and logging camps. Not only is OM lost from the soil but the OM now goes to feeding marine bacteria in the Ocean. Also the toxins from all this waste kills the plankton but leaves the bacteria undisturbed for the most part. This upsets the balance of the food chain in the Ocean. If this continues to happen the Ocean will no longer be able to sustain a healthy fish population as the food pyramid will crash. Ultimately even the plankton population will fail to produce oxygen as the Ocean becomes anoxic. Guess what happens to those living at the top?
You can believe all the nonsense financed by Banks and Big Business that CO2 gas in the atmosphere is the cause of Climate disruption but it is a Big Lie to cover up the truth. No amount of “Green energy” projects and technology will solve the Human problem of overpopulation and industrialization without conserving wildlife, wilderness, and forests. Salmon don't give a damn about solar panels or alga farms, they want wild rivers to swim up without dams in the way. If you cut down the forests and kill all the wolves, bears, cougars, and every other creature that you would label a varmit, you will damn your generation to hell on Earth. Technology can help if it does not mine the very wilderness it proposes to save.
