Npr - articleNalini Nadkarni a professor of Ecology at Evergreen State college in Washington appeared on NPR revealing some interesting info: "Some of the finest forest ecology studies being carried out today are the result of NASA-funded multi-disciplinary collaborations." She noticed that trees give off specific light reflection signatures allowing her to estimate their numbers through out the world.
In 2005 there were some 400,246,300,201 trees on the world, with 6,456,789,877 people in the world that comes out to 61 trees per person.
As a designer alone I must use up close to my allotment of trees in a couple of years. Good thing they are renewable resources.
Wangari Maathai 2004 Nobel Peace Prize winner, is helping the world's people to increase their individual tree allotment.

This is a really nice collaboration to renew the planet with renewable resources. I wounder if the light the trees give off is from the CO2 they release? I dunno
