Moose reduce carbon in forests but the construction industry tearing down natural forests, changing natural landscapes and putting up numerous buildings, shopping malls, houses, apartment buildings, skyscrapers and cities all over, inviting in hoards from all around the world to populate these places, that is doing nothing.
Got it.
“There are a number of reasons why you would want to keep the Amazon in place, oxygen just isn’t any one of them,” Michael Coe, a scientist at the Woods Hole Research Center in Massachusetts, told National Geographic. In fact, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, seasonal phytoplankton blooms are responsible for more than half of atmospheric oxygen production on Earth."
The same can be said about our local forests. I keep this in mind whenever I see a finely landscaped subdivision with nice trees, bushes, shrubs and lawns that are producing oxygen while the neighboring woods is creating and using at the same time, resulting in a net zero gain.
