Lockheed Martin Redesigns Jets to Replant Forests

From landmines to saplings. According to the electronic environmental news service from the Earth Day Network, Inc. (The Daily Gist, 9/3/99), Lockheed Martin has plans of converting military jets designed to drop landmines to the purpose of replanting forests. Saplings would be dropped in biodegradable metal cones, which explode on landing and release the shoot into the ground. One plane could plant 900,000 trees per day.
