    In 2021, the QT gas stations around my city literally cut down every tree on the property so the transients wouldn’t have shade.

    I don’t know why I felt the need to mention this.

      Because this is the vibe in the US. Only non-solutions are allowed. Don’t get down or you will be kicked. No get up, only kick.

      Because it shows how not solving one problem (high cost housing and the resulting homelessness) results in more problems (trees getting cut down to make it someone else’s problem)

      I have dreams living in a jungle with electric trains and plant based foods.

    Please plant seed-bearing trees my allergies are already trying to kill me. The policy of planting only pollen-producing trees has made pollen so bad that it is now a part of the weather forecast!

    This is great news.

    Do trees reduce heat? I guess they provide shade.

    Let’s do reforestation on Iceland too.

      I don’t know about carbon sinks, but compound-leaved trees tend to grow faster and produce dense wood.
