Why not scrap GDP and replace it with trees?

This week the Upside looked at some alternatives to the quest for endless economic growth

In May we asked you: what are the alternatives to endless economic growth? Dozens of you got in touch with tips and suggestions.

And so we persuaded the Guardian economics correspondent Richard Partington to try to make sense of it all by taking a good hard look at GDP and the alternatives.

New episode! We talk about the limits of GDP, shifting to a wellbeing economy & what we can learn from New Zealand's recent budget. With guests @grantrobertson1, @anniequick, @BMHayward & @Gus_ODonnell

Reforestation in tropical climates is "easy" (relatively)! Planting and rehabilitating arid zones becomes more difficult. Here is my experience over the last 16 years, and I hope it will be helpful.

We are the Green Ukhiya Star Team, a team of volunteers gathered as part of relief operations during the Rohingya influx in Cox's Bazar.
To compensate the great disaster and protect the environment we are planting 1 million trees. It is essential to gradually bring back vegetation cover in this area for an adaptable living condition for the displaced Rohingya people while they stay in their temporary shelters and also for the local host people.

We need your kind consideration to promote our initiative towards a global audience.
