it's not sustainable without urban trees, urban canopy, and parks, no matter how densely you pack them in. Remind that to every so-called 'urbanist' you see, because they sure don't say anything but 'pave baby pave'. #heatisland #protecturbantrees #planturbantrees #greenspace

Century-old sequoia in Seattle neighborhood faces removal amid construction plans Time is running out for giant sequoia that has towered over Seattle for possibly a century or more.

Tree planting is still the best way to remove carbon, despite climate and economic risks, say researchers Tree planting can be the most cost-effective way of removing carbon as long as careful choices are made about which type of trees to plant and where.

this is only **partially** true - PROTECTING existing trees is the best way (and under the oceans, kelp forests) - THEN comes planting. #protectforests #protecturbantrees #climate #banclearcuts #banMcMansions #sustainablecitiesincludetrees #trees
