The article introduces one way proposed to stop desertification. A box-shaped device that helps in growing young trees. The author makes three points against this idea, but the lecturer argues against each of them with valid reasonings.
First, the passage points that based on the amount of boxes needed to fight desertification, and the high price of each device some countries may be incapable of affording them, but the lecturer argues that, after the tree is grown the device can be removed and then used to grow other trees. The device can be deployed at least twenty more times, making it a lot less taxing for the countries in need to afford them.
Second, the author says that local people are called upon to install and maintain the devices, but in most cases the locals live and work in harsh conditions and would not be motivated to do such jobs without any rewards. The lecturer discusses ways to encourage the locals into maintaining the devices, saying that there can be benefits like local families using the water gathered by devices to grow their own small fields, and using the branches of the grown trees as fire wood.
Third, the passage brings to attention that the devices ability is limited to conserving a small tree but the lecturer points out that the matured trees can survive without the device due to developing long roots, pointing out that 90 percent of trees grown in Sahara desert survived and are thriving even after two years of device removal.
