Good article.

Very cool. It's an everyone problem not just Mexico problem as Geoff illustrated in his reference to China/Brasil. Eden Reforestation Projects www.edenprojects.org (just north of there) is planting 39,633+ trees per day. You should engage them to help. I know they're ramping up their efforts to plant 50,000,000 trees per year versus the 18,000,000 they planted last year.
