How many trees need to be planted in order to fix that part of the environmental destruction problem?

Deforestation is a major problem. An area of forest equal to 20 football or rugby fields is lost every minute. There are 57,600 sq. ft. (160 ft x 360 ft) in a football field (including end zones). If you planted one tree in every 6 sq. ft. that would require 192,000 trees to reforest. Remember this is loss per minute!
