[Terrapreta] Tree planting -- a bit more

[David Yarrow]

in most parts of the earth -- even deserts and savannas -- if yer not 
forest, yer against us.  forest is the natural, highest aspirartion of any 
ecological community.  forests are the lungs of the biosphere.  and 
filtration purification system for water.
