We need more Jadavs

Unfortunately his name sounds like some sort of missile, lol

This story is all over the internet. People definitely have a clue. +1 for him and +1 for OP reposting something actually informative.

Magic?
clln86
Nope. Still a mystery.
morgan0073
Did he plant the grass as well.
clln86
One every day.
patolucas1977
The trees allow for better water retention on the soil, which lets the grass grow.
bigpeeler
Show off.
notacobra
This story always hits me a little odd... Majuli island suffers from dry land salinity, an issue involving shifts in the water table 1/?
notacobra
due to deforestation and irrigation. It's a very, very hard to solve problem requiring huge teraforming projects. There's no way, I can 2/?
notacobra
see that simply planting large numbers of trees could help. Planting a tree in salinity destroyed land just kills the tree, it doesn't 3/?
notacobra
cure the problem, it doesn't have any effect I can observe. Maybe I'm mistaken somewhere, but I can't find any actual information other 4/?
notacobra
than buzzfeed articles and facebook like-baits. I can't find proof that it works, how it works or even that Jadav is a real person. 5/5
LoodGookin
Maybe the trees are similar to ones that grow in mangroves and can handle the salinity.
headloser
Now that is commitment. May God give him a piece of heaven for him for he made the different.

All so that when he dies some cunt can come along and cut it down again

Here's the Brit!

haha pip pip cheerio
Xsiah
Or the government decides that he didn't have the right permit to plant those trees and cuts them down and fines him for the cost of labour.
thefatb0b
Not to be that guy but this is kind of aditude is exactly the problem.
1414145691
you know I'm right though - how do you know the entire sandbar wasn't previously replanted centuries before?
thefatb0b
and you know I'm right. If more people honestly believed they could make a difference there would be a difference.
Newthoenikker
This. The reason people suck nowadays is that they are pessimistic and lazy and would rather throw money at a problem rat her than go do it
FuzzyNutSak
So why bother right?! Derp
josip217
those trees are definitely older than 40 years
ItWasLikeThatWhenIGotHere
I'm pretty sure the neighbours would get upset if tigers started moving into the neighbourhood.
Ayanami81
I thought it said no one knew what was in his bag, apparently it's some form of saplings
gottakeepgoing
Everyone just assumes it's a sapling because that's what they see.
clln86
Why put clickbait in a video? I'm already watching your video! Also, not a desert. This video writer is making my eye twitch.
Bellamortis
Everyone is also apparently blind considering the saplings were poking out of the top
canadiantimberwolf
I fucking hate that. They want you to feel like you know something everyone else doesn't but it's right in the damn video
JudgeDeadpool
They better have made that shit protected.
madman604
Where'd the water come from?
thefatb0b
High water table
PersephoneIsNotHome
It wasn't a desert. The trees and plants keep the soil from eroding and make more soil. W/out that is all gets washed away
RedJack3t
he probably watered them a little. Trees draw up water from the watertable, their roots help the soil retain water from rain = wetter soil.
WillJeSuis
Yea, this was my immediate thought too, also the key information because once there were quite the few plants, you would need a lot of water
WillJeSuis
to water each one and consider he is walking...there is just a lack of information.
AWildBork
Majuli is the largest river island in the world, the river being Brahmaputra. It isn't desert, actually sand and silt deposited by the 1/
AWildBork
the river itself. Most of the sandbars go under water during monsoon and erodes away all the soil without any vegetation/ trees 2/2
kawwmoi
The sky. Most people refer to it as rain.

Stop killing jokes. #Jokelivesmatter
ItsClemFandangoStevenCanYouHearMe
I worry most people don't know the difference between jokes and reality anymore
gforce1616
It's just that some jokes aren't very funny, so that makes it hard
gforce1616
ALL jokes matter.

It'd suck if Jadav got eaten by a tiger or killed by an elephant that moved into the forest he grew

Nah, that wont work, it's too small scale. add a zero or two onto that and imagine the results.
Okebel
Maybe, but it would be a start.

True, but you really gotta aim high, the last guy who tried to break Genghis' record didnt even get 10% of the way there.

Cant be having that. Government isnt involved. Havent you heard that only through their intervention can the wold be saved???

"Someplace". Parks, yards, and medians filled with trees. Children cry as they're playgrounds are overran. Treepocalypse, coming soon
bpetersen
Shits expensive. $20 for 1-2ft pine; $80 for 4-5ft elm tree...comes to $600/mo to $2.4k/mo
Renza0
There's some pine cones and acorns and shit laying around outside, probably wouldn't take much to gather a bunch up, boom free seeds.
chiechien
You uh... you know you can just grow trees from seeds, right? He's not hauling 5-foot elms out there.
TheWarHymn
That's retail prices. Tree farms can plant an acre of pine for $65.

I highly recommend the short story (and animation) "The Man Who Planted Trees"

ok you buy 100 people ther own trees and I'll go. I got bills to pay kiddo
iamdanman
Well you don't need to be an asshole
counterfeitdreams
Pretty sure the saplings this guy is planting cost hardly anything
bpetersen
4-5ft elm tree is approx $80. 1-2ft pine is like $20. Expect to spend from $600/mo to $2.4k/mo
thefatb0b
Our problem isn't a lack of trees. It's a lack of wildlife land reserved for them...
mrbossavage
They go hand and hand you dumb fuck.
thefatb0b
We don't have open land like this. where are u going to plant them? in a park?? are u going to have a whole forest in your back yard?? ???
iamdanman
Imagine what we could do in 20 if people started planting trees in barren areas instead of chopping them down
Splittmark
Cut one plant 2.
TrueItaliano
Logging companies are actively invested in NOT killing all the forests. They would run themselves out of business!
Kurish
The Problem is mostly slash and burn agriculture sadly :/.
Groose
Canada has a law that for every tree that is cut down one must be planted in its place
StevenAlequin
Why not though? Sounds like something someone should set up!
DrYoloMcSwagmasterIIIEsq
I honestly cant tell if you're being sarcastic or not
StevenAlequin
I was being fully serious. Like, if someone set some shit up like this, I would plant trees! Shit yeah, replenish the forests and all that!
DrYoloMcSwagmasterIIIEsq
Then go do it, tree planting is super common. Hell, a lot of companies will even pay you to do it
eazolan
Imagine if the people who were cutting down trees for firewood also planted sprouts.
mrbossavage
Ohh wait they already do that
Totallyscrewedinaustin
That's how responsible logging is supposed to be. Except logging companies go cheap and plant only 1 type of tree. No diversity.
eazolan
Most places aren't stripped by logging companies. They're stripped by people who live off of firewood.
