Genius idea. Not surveilling citizens, dipping into their pockets, or changing the way they do things. Amazing how things happen when you choose an easy solution.

It is a very good idea. I also think that the government should also commit to storing rain water in basins where applicable instead of allowing this water to run out freely to oceans and/or be wasted. Out here in California, for example, hundreds of billions of rain water and runouts from the snow in the mountains is lost and that water could be used in preventing losses during the fire season as well as providing irrigation for farms and green belt areas.

Is there something wrong with planting tress and saving water? Have you ever checked the price of wood nowadays. Particularly the hard woods?

I like trees!

So you agree with AOC's plan to plant more trees that she was pushing last year? Or do you think this is some brilliant plan the GOP just came up with?

Its Trump's Plan now, because he is the one who will actually get it done.

Tall grass prairie would get the job done much faster. Mostly privately owned land though so not as easy as slow growing trees on public ground.

You're one step ahead of me, buddy. Just coming here to say this. Native grasses and native flowering plants. Should put 'em between the expressways.

Where will the people live?

Perhaps they can give such an idea an exotic french name like "reservoir", i dunno

I don't care who came up with it. IT makes sense. Sensible care of planet earth is a good thing.

I don't care what they call it but I do know how much rain water and snow melt is wasted. It is ridiculous, especially in states like California who force people to water ration ridiculously and let fires burn homes and ranches because they don't have the water to quench the flames. There are also enough water to go to farmers because of stupid regulations and lack of rich soil to grow their crops because of their faux concern for two inch fish being affected.

idea: plant trees!

execution strategy: uh...

Maybe stay away from Old Growth forests?

Wheres that pissed off Swede to tell us what is best?
.

One thread down buddy!

Old growth forests are less effective at carbon sequestration than younger but still mature forests.

Planting trees is a decent mitigation strategy, but it can be only one small part of a much larger strategy.
