So what’s the solution?

When we say forests store carbon, we mean FORESTS. Not just trees. Carbon cycles keep the soil healthy, and leaving old growth trees keeps the forest cooler, wetter, and is one of the best climate solutions available to us. A fascinating (if frustrating) read:

The form asks for more information than we are sending to the USDA (so we can target Congressional offices to oppose this in the same action) but we're not passing along to the USDA information like specific addresses (we keep city and state) and we mask the sender's personal email as well.

This is actually standard for commenting on any public process and not new to this Administration. Comments become part of the public record and are generally posted in "reading rooms" when, for example, they're submitted on regulations.gov.
