Interesting idea

The old bombers can drop up to 900,000 trees in a day.

Forests on the Planet, you can recover very fast, with obsolete bombers, designed for the installation of minefields in enemy territory. All you need is to convert them under seed bombs containing tree saplings.

The company Lockheed Martin Aerospace, proposes to use bombers C-130 for planting trees in remote areas on the principle of carpet bombing.

This idea appeared in Massachusetts, when the government obliged all companies with polluting plants to plant forests, to reduce the carbon footprint they emit. Planting seeds bomber C-130 was twice cheaper than the cost of hand planting.

"Equipment used to create minefields accurate enough and can be adapted easily for planting trees," says pilot Peter Simmons.

Today there are about 2500 transport aircraft C-130, which are used in 70 countries, so the system of delivery and planting forests is widely available.

Each of these specially equipped aircraft will be able to "bombed" areas designated for planting forests, several times a day, dropping a total of 900 thousand "green bombs", which encompasses tree seedlings.

"This is 125 thousand trees in a single flight and about 900 thousand trees a day," — says a representative of Lockheed Martin Peter Simmons (Peter Simmons).

Cones, carrying tree saplings, designed to penetrate to a depth sufficient for the further development of a young tree. Inside they contain fertilizer and a material that absorbs moisture from the environment, exercising, thus, a kind of watering of plants.

Cone material, although for strength, begins to decompose as soon as it hits the ground, allowing the young tree to grow its roots deep, securely anchored in a new place.

Reforestation in the air is no different from a manual landing, but in the swamp and mountainous terrain it will be much cheaper and faster, and in many cases it is actually the only chance to sow. If done correctly, the success rate of the plantations of the air reaches 70%, which is about 700 000 trees a day — quite a good day for the Planet, isn't it. Taking into account that one person on earth can not plant more than 1,000 trees and the success rate is 95%.

"If we are to combat global warming by capturing carbon in trees we need to plant millions of trees per year. And the air tree planting is probably the only way," said the head of the company, Moshe Alamaro.

These green bombs can be adapted to any area and filled with seeds of suitable plants, even for desert areas. There is a pilot project of the air plantations in the Sinai desert in Egypt. Also possibilities of planting trees in North Africa, the tundra of Canada, Australia and the USA.

For five years, the company Lockheed Martin can drop to 5 billion trees, enough to restore 500,000 hectares of forests.
