Most people in the world do not have adequate furniture or well-built houses. If we provide people that by cutting down trees, at least that much carbon remains trapped in them. The new trees thus planted will suck up more carbon.

We've been doing the tree plantation thing right. Now, we just need to cut them down and put them to use.
