I work with a tiny charity that manages to do it once every 30 seconds on average. It’s very ambitious but with climate change we have to be.
It’s certainly not a one man job. But then again I don’t think anyone is suggesting that it is.
I'm 46,I'll retire when I'm 55. My pension pot should be knocking on for 7 figures then. Not bad for a thick uneducated idiot eh?So so patronising to the people that run this country. I raise two kids, have owned property, been married and divorced, started businesses and lead departments. What exactly do you think I’m missing before I unlock the enlightenment you have achieved?
People over 45 grew up with no internet, no climate change, free education, jobs for life, gold plated pensions, cheap housing, etc then have the cheek to pretend they know about “real life”.
Pathetic.
The land isn't the issue? Its the physical time to do it.
3 per second, for 20 years straight.
Don't forget, will have to be done by hand otherwise it won't be eco-friendly...
1000 teams - 2 people per team. Plant a tree every minute for 7/8 hours a day.
2000 new jobs - that’s 480000 planted in a day. Have more people doing it... create more jobs.
It’s a rudimentary calculation but doable if the infrastructure is there.
Why do you need a machine to plant a sapling? 3 men and 3 spades will do it. You seem to be working on the premise that that it’s going to be down to one single object that’s got to do this work solidly on its own over 20 years. You need to add a dose of reality to your thinking.It's actually incredible people are trying to find a way to do that amount just to defend this ludicrous promise.
What machinery do we have in today's technology that can plant 3 trees per second?
Deflector shields set to maximum Captain.Do you support destruction of Greenbelt?
How many trees can you plant per hectare.
As many as you want though typical densities range from 1000 to 2500 trees per hectare.
Let's go for 2,500 and really go for it.
One hectare is 0.003861022 square mile.
Etc
I have a grand total of 3088817.27 square miles for this tree planting escapade.
The area of the UK is around 94000 square miles.
Good stuff!

Good work LG. Could you send me some details would you, been thinking of getting involved with something like this for a while.I work with a tiny charity that manages to do it once every 30 seconds on average. It’s very ambitious but with climate change we have to be.

Back of the net.
Suck it up you whinging git.
For someone that works in the sector, I find the so called tree planting policies ludicrous. Trees are part of the answer in tacking climate change (and not just carbon sequestration, but also biodiversity and flood management), and not the absolute fix as the idiot politicians seem to think.
Finding land to plant large areas of woodland is very difficult for a number of reasons e.g. land values for development, taking land out of food production.
Also, tree planting can be detrimental to biodiversity if woodland is created in areas where other priority habitats are more beneficial e.g. chalk grassland, heathland.
Number of trees per ha. - normally range from 1100- 1800 depending on the type of woodland being created, soil type and resource availability and species mix.
Any questions?
Hahahaha. “Back of the net”
You’re adorable.
Hope you can work on your issues man.
This forum seems to have a disproportionately high number of people who are absolutely loaded and planning to retire in their 50s. Why don't you all club together and buy the club and build us a new ground?I'm 46,I'll retire when I'm 55. My pension pot should be knocking on for 7 figures then.

He’s a success dude your a failure. You were giving it the big un you are a higher rate tax later now. When I left JLr a 28 year old analyst was earning £47,000 - you are seriously a joke
For the record, planting trees simply makes those who are pumping the atmosphere with CO2 feel better.
"I'll plant a tree because I drive my diesel car every day to the supermarket at the end of my road. "

I have access to land records for the country. How can I help find suitable land?
Even better he doesn't spend all his time posting to nobody on Twitter. Funny G for someone who calls others sneering snobs you sure do like to brag about salaries and whine about the underclass. Don't want to switch places?
Hardly but if he started at JLR at 16 he’d be getting a million at 55 no question - pretty low paid manager I know started as an apprentice and is getting £1.4 million
Soz (sorry also for the non native conifer)We've had enough of experts!

Know a few people n their 50s looking at leaving there in the next 2 or 3 years with similar deals.
Good luck to them.
I don’t get the twitter reference. He comes across as a jealous moaning git
Bravo. What a rebel.Pound for pound it’s the best climate change defence we’ve got. I couldn’t give a shiny shite how people feel. We’ll need legislation. Those who are about the feels will be denying it anyway. The biggest problem the climate movement has is lack of action, it doesn’t need years deciding the perfect solution it needs action on multiple fronts because that’s how the human race surmounts it’s problems: lots of people being innovative until something works.
Twitter seems to be your pastime these days and aside from a menage a trois involving 'salop' and the orca nobody's biting. As for shmmeee-he has his flaws like we all do.
Imagine that at the stroke of midnight you went from being not mature enough to vote to being mature enough? Now tell me, what did you learn in that nano second that you didn’t know at 20.
Bravo. What a rebel.
Exactly why are people jealous?
