Let there be trees!

What is tiny, biodegradable, and can plant a tree anywhere without turning over even a single shovel-full of dirt?

Meet the “Erodium copy” robot! It’s a tech solution that just might save the planet. It is made of wood and can be dropped from the air. It coils and uncoils to drive its payload of a single seed deep into the earth where it can germinate and grow. In testing, it was 90% effective.

Here’s a 4-minute video that shows you how it works.

BTW, “Erodium” is a small ground-cover plant. I did not know such a plant existed until I watched this video. How providential that humans can learn and innovate by first watching nature!
