Plant and nurture trees
Wood is 50% carbon, so trees are a great carbon store. Their respiration also converts CO2 into oxygen. They build soil, stabilise local climates, help wildlife, provide food and wood. So wherever you find space, plant a native or fruit bearing tree. Better still, plant many. And then care for them.
