We are doing our part, over a dozen trees, we buy a living tree for the holidays and plant it. One blue spruce is 20 foot tall now -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 19, 13:35 1

That sounds like a boilerplate DJT idea -- nm - Jovian Jul 19, 13:23
*watches climate change kill off most of them* -- nm - Spawn Jul 19, 13:13
And who was it, a few years back, suggesting we thin them to reduce wildfires? Or was that just raking the leaves? -- nm - Meg Jul 19, 13:12 2
- If this was done smartly, you'd put them in urban areas for a double whammy of reducing heat islands. -- nm - Reagen Jul 19, 13:13 1
  - You keep putting them up, we'll keep chopping them down. We don't care; we don't have to. -- nm - we're the power companies Jul 19, 13:20
Tbf, planting trees is at least a good idea. -- nm - Reagen Jul 19, 13:09 6

    - Honestly though, you'd think the 2nd best time would be 19 years ago but you go, ancient proverb -- nm - rollo 🐙 Jul 19, 13:21 1
      - And don't get me started about 30 years ago. - Spawn Jul 19, 13:23
- sure, it's not a bad idea. but the idea needs to be paired with things they're entirely unwilling to do. - colin Jul 19, 13:11 1
  - its nonsense and not grounded in reality in the least. Its meant for their carnival barkers in rightwing media. -- nm - Jovian Jul 19, 13:24
looking forward to them "supporting farmers" while proposing that every square inch of the US be covered in trees. -- nm - colin Jul 19, 13:07
