Forests with older, larger trees appear to be especially effective at storing carbon. Scientists warn that "The value you have in large mature trees is almost incalculable, and so you should avoid losing that at any cost." (2/4) #ClimateChange #Trees
Politicians support the 'One Trillion Trees' campaign and advocate large scale planting programmes. However, new planting initiatives are of limited use in comparison to protecting existing forests. Monoculture planting can negatively impact biodiversity. (3/4) #SustainableForest

Welcome to night two of our Legislative Focus Week on Infrastructure in Missouri! Tonight’s topic, one of my personal faves, will be all about Missouri leading with renewable energy.

Renewable energy is the future, and the sooner we can make it the present, the better.
I love Missouri, and I am a firm believer that Missouri will be able to be a leader in renewable energy.

I’m so glad we have groups here like the @MOsierraclub and @sunrisemvmtkc to be strong advocates for climate change and environmental justice.
Here’s an article that outlines a few possibilities in Missouri over advancing our renewable energy initiatives.

This area makes its living from the hard labor of our Watermen. They need our support now more than ever. Our Watermen catch and raise marine life from rockfish to oysters. They are small businesses that keep the region going.

There is a deep-seated reverence for trees in Judaism, expressed in modern times by the afforestation of the land of Israel and the celebration of the festival of Tu Bishvat, the ‘New Year’ for trees, which begins tonight.

He asked him, ‘How long does it take for a carob tree to bear fruit?’ The man replied, ‘Seventy years.’ Honi asked, ‘Are you certain that you will live another seventy years?’
