This is the best kind of bombing. Using a retrofitted C-130, Lockheed Martin Aerospace is able to plant more than 90,000 trees a day! The technology is simple, the bomber drops pointed tree cones in remote areas that bury themselves in the ground at a uniform depth and spacing. The cones contain fertilizer and material that soaks up surrounding moisture to water the roots of the tree.

Note that this project originated in 1999, but has not been implemented. Hopefully with recent changes in environmental focus, it will be given a real opportunity.
