13. Trees And Things Like Them
We needed to make sure we mentioned something like this due to how important it is for the planet we’re headed to. Plants are a major part of how we manage to exist on Earth. Therefore, one of the biggest things a planet needs to sustain human life is the ability to have plants and especially trees. The reason for this is really due to the Carbon Dioxide factor.
Remember, CO2 is absorbed by plants. If a planet we head to has trees like our own, they will be able to at least absorb major amounts of CO2. This will be useful as we get started in our new home. Trees are proven absorbers of CO2 and therefore we need them among other plants to grow. Perhaps this planet’s trees may do even more than our own.
