The .uk domains spotted in the wild thread

To be honest, there are a lot of ways to capture carbon. I recently spoke to a Forester whilst photographing in Grizedale, who told me that conifer plantations are actually really good at capturing and holding carbon. The problem is is that we keep cutting them down for paper and wood releasing that carbon back into the atmosphere. Conifer plantations often get a bad rep as monoculture but the fact is conifers actually sequester near 5 times as much as broadleaves and do so in the first 30 years of their lives (around the same time they’re cut down releasing all of that back into the atmosphere).
 
Sounds about right doesn't it. I bet that all of the people cutting down the forests are certified as net zero.
