In this age of consequence, when we know we have a huge problem to deal with (Global warming), and we know full well that trees do nothing but good, absorbing CO2 and reversing some of the damage that man does. Why aren’t the government giving them out for free at the local council offices?
Why is there no grant scheme in place or tax breaks available for people who want to donate their time to planting trees. At the very least, should there not be an incentive for people to become carbon neutral?
Why is there no public land available for people (who don’t have gardens) to go and plant their trees?
Why aren’t (more) local communities getting it together and planting woods and forests around their towns?
Why don’t the Government open Garden centres whereby the profits from shrubs and plant sales subsidies the cost of the free trees?
Why don’t people sew more seeds? – seriously, pick the seeds from the trees in your local park and scatter them around where ever you go. Country verges, public land, your garden. All this is assuming the tree you picked you seeds from hadn’t been genetically modified so as not to naturally reproduce!
Anyhoo, free trees for all, what do you think?
