Climate change: Plant a fruit tree

Spausdinimo šaltinis

Abstraktus

Addressing climate change requires dramatic changes to how we power our homes and factories and build our cities to how we feed our families and move around. Yet countries, businesses, states and cities have yet to make the deep structural economic and societal shifts that are required.

Human society and the global economy are inextricably linked to forests. More than 1 billion people depend on forests for their livelihoods. And forest ecosystems play a critical role in stabilizing the climate; providing food, water, wood products, and vital medicines; and supporting much of the world’s biodiversity.

There isn’t a silver bullet or a single pressure point to addressing the climate challenge. It will require an army of actors, a menu of options and an array of interventions in the right places, tailored to the unique opportunities at hand.    Source: Pasaulio išteklių institutas https://www.wri.org/

Climate change is an urgent threat to humanity that demands swift, decisive action.

Greta Thunberg speaks to us:

In this activity, we learn more about the ability of trees to convert carbon dioxide and the importance of trees for biodiversity so we plant a tree.  This activity can be developed individually by learners or as a group activity that shall be focused on the importance of trees for the climate and for biodiversity.

In 15 simple steps you will have your planted tree::

  1. Bring the materials needed
  2. Choose a sunny but preferably somewhat wind-protected place.
  3. Place the fruit tree in the bucket of water so that it can absorb water while you dig.
  4. Dig a planting pit that is about 50 centimeters in diameter and equal in depth. Make sure that there is no stiff clay in the pit and that the soil is well drained and rich in soil.  If the soil is too muddy or too sandy, you can balance it by mixing in peat, compost, bark soil, or planting soil to name a few soil-rich materials. The soil where the fruit trees are to take root should also be free from weeds as they steal nutrients and water from the trees.
  5. Remove the turf. If necessary, mix part of the existing soil with plant soil / compost.
  6. Pour a layer of plant soil on the bottom of the pit. Water a little.
  7. Fold the support rod into the ground so that it is straight and stable.
  8. Remove the pot or plastic around the roots of the fruit tree. Place the tree in the pit next to the stick and scoop on more soil.
  9. 9. Water thoroughly and wait until the water recedes. It must not be so densely surrounding soil that the drainage does not work!
  10. Fill with more soil and, if necessary, lift the fruit tree so that the top of the pot clumps is level with the surrounding ground. Check that the tree is straight.
  11. Remove any stem shoots that come under the actual crown, but do not prune the fruit tree now in connection with the planting. During the first year the tree takes root, during the second year you can start shaping the crown.
  12. Also remove the small support stick that the fruit tree had in the pot. It is not needed now that the tree has a stronger support cane.
  13. Attach the fruit tree to the support cane with a soft, wide rubber or jute tape binder. Do not pull it too hard around the trunk and loosen it later as the fruit tree grows.
  14. Put on the gnawing net around the trunk.
  15. Water through again. Clear!  Water daily for a few weeks.
