That multiplier effect sounds cool, could you link more info that I can check out tomorrow? Thanks!

I know about it because I've a friend who basically bought a big plot of land and requested funds to plant trees.
EU reforestation, google autocompleted it halfway to eu funding for reforestation :o
"During the current 2014-2020 funding period the programme will contribute approximately €3.4 billion more.
The LIFE programme is divided into two sub-programmes, one for environment (representing 75% of the overall financial envelope) and one for climate action (representing 25% of the envelope)."
https://lifereforest.com/life-programme/
"Some EUR 8.2 billion has been earmarked for the 2015-2020 period (27% for reforestation, 18% to make forests more resilient and 18% for damage prevention)."
https://www.europarl.europa.eu/factsheets/en/sheet/105/the-e...
Currently I prefer reforestation (or even better yet restoration of swamplands), because it's partly EU funded, so there's a small multiplier effect, and there's still a lot of land for "low hanging" forests, which help with local climate patterns a bit.
I'm aware of what >>we<< need to do, and I'm already working on the better heating/insulation part. But individual action is nothing compared to advocacy in terms of impact.
