People really like vandalizing trees, diseases exist, and they are less efficient carbon sinks

Like how we found it’s better to feed cattle seaweed than grass but nobody wants to because it’s different

Carbon sinks? Dude, people are planting trees in cities for the shade.

There’s a quote about planting trees and not living to see their shade

I’m a bit more pessimistic of people plus with smog cover how often will they need shade?

I promise you we have better space than city sidewalks for carbon sinks.

Yes, grass roofs, vines/trees on the sides of buildings and such but there’s never a bad spot for it

Good thing people don't like to vandalize glass.

Usually spray paint it rather than breaking it, and you would hope it’d be fiberglass so it doesn’t just break
