What You Can Do
Sudeesa: Women-Led Community Cooperatives
1. “Support the Global Mangrove Alliance. One hundred species of mangroves grow in 118 countries located 25 degrees north and 25 degrees south of the Equator. The Alliance intends to increase the worldwide mangrove habitat 20% by 2030.”
2. “Plant bamboo, which absorbs carbon dioxide and releases 35% more oxygen into the atmosphere than an equivalent stand of hardwood trees.”
Drawdown quantifies bamboo’s contributions.
3. “Support efforts to save old trees; the older they are, the more greenhouse gases they sequester.”
Research shows young trees sequester carbon faster, but old trees sequester more.
