Tree Planting stories
[Anyone have a story to add?] Hi I thought it might be good to put in stories I got from others of their tree plantings. I had a friend from Australia who did a government job after leaving school, and he planted about 100 trees along a stretch of road, He went back not long ago and they were all fully grown. He said it was amazing to see. Here's one I got from someone in an email back in 2000:Years ago my best friend and I decided that for her wedding we would give everyone something…See More

There was a derelict railway line in Brighton that I loved. There were apple trees there, must have grown from apple cores thrown out by commuters years ago. have a look at…See More

Using the website above we hope to plant 1000 Trees in Ireland towards the goal.

all the best,
Donal

I have finally completed my MSc thesis: What is the potential for reducing atmospheric CO2 levels through solar-desalinated irrigated vegetation of the Sahara and Arabian deserts? The purpose of this thesis was to estimate how much carbon could be sequestered annually in the Sahara and Arabian deserts if those deserts were irrigated with seawater that had been desalinated using CSP, allowing the establishment of vegetation and formation of soil. Successful sequestration of carbon in… Continue
