[quote=Anonymous]The flooding earlier this week destroyed part of a newly repaved road in our neighborhood and submerged a truck at an intersection. People who have lived here for decades say they never saw anything like it. Forest floor absorbs about 25 times as much water as the same area of lawn. Over a third of the WMA's urban forest has been lost in the last two decades. On top of which, a study came out last week in the journal Science, showing that one of the most effective and cheapest ways to combat climate change would be to plant one trillion trees on a currently available three and a half million acres of land, without impacting human activity. While we wait for some government entity to do something about the global problem, we've planted twelve native saplings in the last year on our half acre. But this will only work if many of us participate. [/quote]
