H/T Dawn Marie Johnson. Thanks for sharing. Trees - the earth’s lungs. We need to think of trees as green infrastructure.

Trees are vital. As the biggest plants on the planet, they give us oxygen, store carbon, stabilise the soil and give life to the world's Wildlife. They also provide us with the materials for tools and shelter. 🌱🌿

Flowers are more profitable as a crop than vegetables per square foot of growing space. This is the perfect use for vacant land that, sadly, due to contaminants, is not suitable for vegetable growing. When you buy flowers, consider asking your florist if the flowers are local.

L.A. set a goal to plant 90,000 new trees by the end of 2021 as part of the city’s New Green Deal. Here’s how they’ll do it.
