A few hundred people have turned out to protect historic century-old ginkgo trees that are likely to be chopped down under a controversial redevelopment for a beloved Tokyo park district.

“If we give a voice to the trees, the developers will listen!”
Fools. Developers wish they could hear the sobs and screams of trees as they’re chopped.
Maybe but at least they are doing something. There is no chance at all if they don’t speak up.
I understand the instinct, but action just for the sake of action is a waste of time and energy.
The developers have names and addresses. Friends and family. If activists really wanted, they could stop them in an instant.
Not that I’m advocating anything. Just sayin~
