Protecting ecosystems and supporting biodiversity automatically provides all the other vital benefits to humanity like cleaner air, people's connection to nature, shade, cooling, scenic views, and stormwater management.
Three choices is not enough. Trees are essential to our life on the planet. Out of the billions of years that has brought this planet such beauty and diversity of life, it pains me to think humanity is willing to destroy it all. We have NO evidence that there is any life in the entire Universe as rich and diverse as ours. Google fiber, to get lines underground BEHIND the curb has performed the death knell for MANY of our urban trees in my neighborhood and over Raleigh and I am powerless to stop this destruction. I weep for the planet and our selfish stupidity.
While new street trees can be planted if existing ones are cut down, retaining older and more established trees is environmentally preferable. The larger trees stand a greater chance of surviving increasingly common extreme heat events, and provide immediate and better heat island reduction.
Will these bathrooms 🚽 be accessible for addicts to shot up drugs ? Is there a area for the drug user to shoot up there dope an dispose of there needles 💉 last time I used the bathroom in Asheville the dope user had held the bathroom hostage so there needs to be a bathroom for them an a bathroom for kids an parents that don’t use drugs. An hand sanitizer an needle 💉 exchange box 📦 instead of making it a 4star hotel for the homeless to lock 🔒 the doors an taxpayers can’t get into bathrooms they paid for 😢.
