Achieving the first strategy would require enormous and wide-ranging efforts.

However, there are many organizations around the world that encourage tree-planting as a way to offset carbon emissions for the express purpose of fighting climate change.

For example, in China, the Jane Goodall Institute, through their Shanghai Roots & Shoots division, launched the Million Tree Project in Kulun Qi, Inner Mongolia to plant one million trees to stop desertification and help curb climate change.

China has used 24 billion metres squared of new forest plantation and natural forest regrowth to offset 21 % of Chinese fossil fuel emissions in 2000.

In Java, Indonesia each newlywed couple is to give whoever is sermonizing their wedding 5 seedlings to combat global warming.

Each couple that wishes to have a divorce has to give 25 seedlings to whoever divorces them.
