Trees increase resilience to climate change:

Hi everyone!!
Today I will talk about Climate change J
The Forestry Commission foster tree planting for three rasons:
1) Countering climate change
Trees naturally absorb CO2,sequestering carbon to benefit everyone through a natural process.

Every cubic metre of wood that is used as a substitute for other building materials saves around 2 tonnes of CO2.
 By replacing fossil fuels, sustainably produced woodfuel could reduce CO2      emissions.
Every cubic metre of wood that is used as a substitute for other building materials avoid around 2 tonnes of CO2.
2) Tempering severe weather

Trees have the capacity to attenuate water flow reduces the impact of heavy rain and floodwaters
Also can improve the effectiveness of drainage systems.
3)  Moderating temperatures

Trees moderate local microclimates - urban areas with
If the trees are well positioned also improve the environmental performance of buildings by acting as 'overcoat’ reducing thermal gain in summer.
In conclusion trees  significant very environmental contributions
I think that take conscience about the importance of tree is really really important for take care now!! And not when too later.. The people would inquire in the problems of climate change and prevent the aggravation
Research and articles like this helped in our works as foresters.

I want finish with a beautiful phrase “Trees are a key part of our armoury to combat climate change”….

Andras Forgacs: Leather and meat without killing animals.



A father with his son begin a  company to 3D print human tissues and organs. They are progress successfully and have in mind make grow parts of animals to meat and leather…
Seem a strange idea but if we think in… that today we maintain a global herd of 60 billion animals to provide our meat dairy, eggs and leather goods ? But maintain big quantity of animals involve epidemics, possibilities of damage and abuse. The animals are living beings, not materials. Can´t continue in that.. All this are dangerous to the health, food security and the environment.

If instead of get meat  and leather of animals make that from  collection of tissues ???

Everithing would more easy …

Biofabrication is the answer !!

With biofabrication can make everything, for example the leather, it is a beginning  to delve in this world. If successfully there, the rest will be more easy.

Now how we do it? Just take mother cells of the animal, without cause any damage in this.
The benefits with the biofabrication are thousands as efficiency, health and the most important a equal treatment respect the animals


In my opinion approaches a good future with biofabrication, the best idea in centuries !!

New IPCC Report Strengthens Certainty of Climate Change

The scientists have absolute certainty that the humans are the principal cause of global warming. Recently reports indicate and asseverate this information with thorough researches.
The report is centered in the climate change and the options to minimize this is one of the four reports about this topic
During the last 15 years temperatures haven’t risen as fast as they had been in the preceding years, but this not means that don´t happen a climate change in a future.
Geoengineering is becoming so popular because is destined to address climate change and in this last years is totally necessary.
The consequences of climate change are: Ice melting faster, ocean becomes more acidic and weather patterns change.
One conclusion to the report is that global warming affect to equal form to persons as a ecosystems.
Despite to various efforts created solar panels and more efficient cars, the reports indicate that carbon dioxide emissions continue to increase year after year.

In my opinion this reports serve principally for give us awareness respect the actual situation of our planet and doing something to respect. Now just we should create more technology to minimize climate change…
