I saw the following this morning for the 5 billionth time... but today it got me wondering...
If those numbers are accurate (and fuck no, I did not check that), what would the COVID death tally amount to in "Trees we don't need to plant"?
And the answer is, at 3,853,590 deaths, we've saved the same as planting 2,435,435,758 trees.
So, there ya go. Next time someone tells you not to use a plastic straw just point at the COVID death tally.
(This is purely for dark humor kicks, and not a reflection on my views or concerns around the pandemic.)
