The Green Bomb

[AYHJA]

The Seedbomb, an unintentional eco-terrorist, is a non-military "bomb" designed for protecting the earth.

When the Seedbomb is dropped, it disassembles mid-air. Within it are seed "warheads" that are then dispersed over a large area. It's kinda like the Michael Bay version of guerrilla gardening.

The bombs are intended for combating both deforestation and desertification.

The seeds are housed inside capsules made of artificial soil: they provide nourishment and moisture to the seed. As the sapling matures, the capsule degrades leaving only the new plant.

Interesting concept, and for the moment, I don't really have a viewpoint on the matter. I can both see the good and bad of a project like this.

Instead of dropping them from the air, however, I think it'd be a great insert in science textbooks for gradeschoolers to accomplish. They need to get out into the real world and start digging.

It is a pretty theory, but sadly I do not think it will go further than that. I can only start to imagine how much something like that would cost. I am no expert in environmental issues, but I imagine there are much more cost effective means that can reach the same goal.
