@powersource @NexaLilly @fasterandworse I like that point, that trees need protection. It takes years and years for them to grow big and self-reliant. It's like the antidote to disruptive societies. Judge a civilization by it's canopy! Especially the urban parts.
Surely, there must be lessons learned from Wangari Maathai and the Green Belt Movement. Not sure what the lesson is, I don't have the knowledge. I wonder how that's all going.
