More trees, please 💚. Trees are important for our city. Not only do they provide natural beauty but they help keep the City cooler by providing shade and through something called evapotranspiration. Heat is the number one cause of death for weather related deaths, but we are lucky that many folks have AC here. However, with climate change, temps are only going to go 🆙 and so are our energy bills. But that’s not all, trees promote healthy lifestyles! Yes, when there are more trees it’s more comfortable to walk. That walking and exercise keeps our ❤️s healthy. Finally, trees playing a role in our hydrological system. They absorb stormwater and some trees like the cypress can drink thousands of gallons of stormwater per day!
