The author notes that every year 400 billion tons of carbon (equal to 1.5 trillion tons of CO{sub 2}) cycle in the carbon cycle of the earth and 210 billion tons of carbon (700 billion tons of CO{sub 2}) move between the atmosphere and terrestrial biota. Human activities produce 7 billion tons of carbon per year. The author believes that for Ohio one solution to attaining 1990 levels of CO{sub 2} released to the atmosphere by the year 2000 is to increase tree cover from 30% to 35%.
