Planted Forests: vital allies of the planet

The Brazilian pulp and paper industry seeks aknowledgement in the Kyoto Protocol for carbon credits originated by planted forests. Planted forests cultivated by this industry in Brazil annually absorb 64 million tons of CO2 , while manufacturing processes are responsible for the emission of 21 million tons of CO2. It is certainly an expressive contribution for the climate. Brazil is one of the few countries worldwide in which 100% of the pulp and paper production comes from planted forests, natural sources of renewable raw material.

Hmm went from What is a tree to global warming....First off are those plants native to that area in Brazil where mass planting is taking place? Also, people tend to think plants get nutrients from fertilizers. That is false, plants get nutrients from the organism that feed off the enzymes roots exudate . LOOK WHO FUNDED THIS VIDEO BRAZILIAN PULP AND PAPER INDUSTRY THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT TREES IN THE LONG TERM CAUSE THEY WILL BE CUT DOWN IN 15 YEARS....
