And then there is a bakery in Tokyo that still runs on the hands of an 84-year-old woman named Grandma Yuriko.

Skydiver Luigi Cani spread 100 million seeds from 27 trees species over a remote deforested area of the Amazon.
The selected seeds have a 95% germination rate, require no human intervention, and grow up to 50 meters.
Good way to make skydiving worthwhile.
