Yes, to have any effect, it seems sensible to enact both carbon-reduction and tree-planting strategies to balance out one's overall impact over time.
Absolutely, I realise my original reply could be construed as being negative toward tree planting. I'm not. It is one part of a big strategy.
This article is really good to see and highlights an issue with tech that needs more attention.
This reminds me of the last election in the UK. Each party was vying for who could plant the most trees as a green policy. It's admirable but I think most people, myself included, don't appreciate how little each tree absorbs and how long it takes to have an impact.
