Incorporating vegetation care into society.

Making planting and taking care of trees a regular, communal activity among organizations of all scales, and creating jobs focused towards tending to vegetation more mainstream.

For the longest time, humans and nature stayed in a virtuous cycle. It was the backbone of a self-balancing global ecosystem. 

Later, however, as societal functioning no longer relied just on what nature offered on a plate, but rather a much bigger economy to work for, humans broke out of this feedback loop, and that meant losing the inherent system which ensured all natural stuff flourished.

Human societies have caused this natural unbalance, so a natural step would be to deeply intertwine a kind of tree-well-being attitude within society. That can be done by:

• Seeing planting trees as a regular communal activity, so maybe a month-end or fortnight-end task by schools, universities, and other organizations.
• Shifting the emphasis on caring for vegetation, with making it a "real job" with good pay. 
• Building human establishments around nature rather than clearing nature up first.
• Anything else that really puts taking care of trees into the daily proceedings of society.

By having these measures, we can begin to have people experience nature-connectedness. That would make them more inclined to have an instinctual responsibility towards nature, and drive humanity back into the virtuous cycle it broke out of.

Sustaining the workforce in current society inevitably leads to deforestation, be it for making living spaces, raising livestock growing crops(to feed livestock and people), etc. 

Driving to work, mining raw materials, industrial activities, etc. are all activities that are deemed essential for societal proceedings but aren't great for the environment, and they contribute directly to Climate change. 

People have the power to decide what is important in society, they're likely to not abandon fossil fuels immediately, but can adopt tree welfare, and really make it an important part of society.

This proposal is to get nature-preservation on a high priority in society.

Currently, as estimated by research, people living in Urban areas spend 90% of their time indoors. That leads on them missing out on the well-being brought about by nature-connectedness.

By including behaviors and norms that foster ecosystems, into regular societal proceedings, we can start to have these people more connected with, and hence more responsible towards nature. This will have immediate and long term benefits on their mental health and the diminishing ecosystems as well.

• Urban populations can start to gain the well-being that comes from nature connectedness, or feel it to a greater extent.

It will positively impact climate change too, because trees are massive carbon reservoirs, and, although by extremely varying degrees, everybody is affected by climate change.

• Addressing climate change would affect everybody on the planet, particularly people from poor regions vulnerable to climate-change induced disasters from which they can't rebound.

Although just planting trees won't be solving climate-change, it is a significant part of it.

This question is focused towards a business, but what I've mentioned is largely a proposal that I hope humanity takes up.

This is just a proposal right now, hence the concept phase.

While the premise of the concept is simple and largely devoid of technology in its fundamentals, it still requires tech to look at how effectively it's working. 

So, for example:

• Organizations will have to upload their regular tree planting data on a central database. 
• Coordination on such a huge scale will inevitably require communication through the internet.
• Replenishing exhausted ecosystems would require current scientific knowledge about them, as well as methods that can minimize side effects, which may stem from current botanical models or even ancestral practices.
• To measure how effectively the efforts are paying off, the analysis of satellite imagery for vegetation would be the fastest and most cost-effective way.
• Specifically geoengineered plants that could play a vital role in their ecosystem and boost rehab can be used.

Currently, the solution serves none because it's not there yet.

If accepted and popularized, it should be able to influence people on the order of a few hundred thousand in the next year....hopefully.

I hope this sees widespread adoption by society.

Some indicators would be:

• The amount of communities and organizations taking this up and making it a regular part of their schedule.
• The amount of rise in green cover in a few years.
• Future positive connotations that about this line of work. People start to view this as a respectable effort and a well-paid one.

Planting and tending to trees, and making it a fundamental part of society is a simple concept to establish, while being a direct opposition to climate change. Every region has a high probability of adopting this methodology because it doesn't impact their industrial development.

The foremost barrier would be widespread adoption and approval by authorities.

Once past that, the next hurdle to cross would be sticking with it on a communal level. 

If past that as well, it should be smooth sailing ahead. 

The solution is not meant to be delivered by a centralized organization, but rather be a societal paradigm-shift in its attitude towards nature, and incorporating practices that are helpful for the environment into our daily lives.

None.
