Forget carbon neutral - Tasmania has gone carbon NEGATIVE!
Yes, Tasmania has become one of the first parts of the world to actually remove more CO2 than it emits.
Scientists from the Australian National University and Griffith Uni recently looked at each stateâs greenhouse gas emissions, and saw that Tasmania has completely reversed its carbon footprint.
They suspect that this is probably thanks to the reduction in native forest logging, meaning that forests have been able to grow and remove carbon from the atmosphere.
If you didnât know, nearly HALF of Tasmania is forested, and more than 20% of the island is a World Heritage Area. It also has Huon pine trees, which are some of the oldest living things on Earth!
Tasmaniaâs beautiful forests allowed for a profitable logging industry for many decades. This is something that Bob Brown, one of the founding members of the Australian Greens Party, and old colleague of our mate Peter Singer, has been fighting against for decades.
While logging made lots of money, researchers believe that âtree farmsâ can satisfy the need for timber without increasing emissions and damaging the natural forest.
