Föderation NL Sa 03.08.2024 06:58:46 @Osteopenia_Powers @DJHVII @breadandcircuses Trees are good. No trees is bad. I am pro tree. The 'pruning costs' outweigh the benefits of having trees. |

Föderation EN Fr 02.08.2024 18:21:18 At a moment in time when we are losing topsoil, tree leaves are a good thing. We need mulch. We need compost. We need messy trees. |
Föderation EN Fr 02.08.2024 22:27:41 @DJHVII @breadandcircuses that's not a cost, it's a benefit. It creates an employment opportunity which will boost the local economy. |
Föderation EN Fr 02.08.2024 16:13:07 @breadandcircuses We'll have to do large awnings, too, or even completely cover streets in some cases. |
Föderation EN Fr 02.08.2024 16:17:52 @breadandcircuses Yes, and now imagine without cars, too 🤩 |
Föderation EN Fr 02.08.2024 16:20:05 @breadandcircuses I can personally attest to this truth. I am recently semi retired and set up a wood working bench under the trees at the edge of where I live next to a pasture sometimes populated by cows. The walk across the yard in the middle of the day here in TN in the summer is HOT. Once I get to the trees it instantly feels cooler. It may still be humid, but it IS cooler immediately. We need more trees everywhere! |

Föderation EN Fr 02.08.2024 16:52:33 Just cycling beside a woodlot after being out in open farmland one gets a reprieve of 3-4 degrees. Every bush and tree is natural solar-powered a/c at work. And for those curious, that temperature drop is quite real—and far less from the shade provided than from that vegetation drawing down solar energy and storing it in hydrocarbon form. Imagine a large tree burning top to bottom - that’s the heat energy captured and stored in a single one of them. |

Föderation EN Fr 02.08.2024 19:19:01 @f800gecko @breadandcircuses In my youth it was always a reprieve from the hot hay/grain field work to spend the day in the woodlot getting firewood for winter. The work was just as strenuous, but the air was cooler. Downside were the deer flies that sting like hell when they bite. |

Föderation EN Fr 02.08.2024 17:35:25 @breadandcircuses I think about this every time I walk/run in the neighborhood near my apartment with almost zero sidewalk shade. Meanwhile those homeowners happily water their sterile grass yards. I think the only way to change these suburban hellscapes (that shouldnt exist) is by lowering their estimated house price. Maybe through low "walkability scores" for no shade? |
Föderation EN Fr 02.08.2024 18:22:21 @jon_giraffe @breadandcircuses Beautiful neighborhoods have big trees with kissing canopies. |
Föderation EN Fr 02.08.2024 17:36:41 And one of those looks a lot more inviting! |

Föderation EN Fr 02.08.2024 18:26:27 Smaller roads are a good start. We don’t need four lane wide city streets, which are ugly, loud & car centric. I’d love for cities to invest in beautiful, clean, free public transportation. Some cities have been playing with asphalt. Changing the color to decrease heat. |
Föderation EN Fr 02.08.2024 18:13:03 @breadandcircuses Put white or aluminum flake paint on black roofs and install white sheet roofing when it's time to replace. This increases roofing lifetime and keeps buildings cooler. And unlike trees, reflective roofs send solar radiation back into outer space. Dark surfaces absorb light, heat up, and emit infrared. A significant part of that infrared is trapped by atmospheric global warming gases. Also, some really hot cities are painting pavement with white paint for the same reason. |
Föderation EN Fr 02.08.2024 18:54:33 @breadandcircuses and if you ride your bicycle through that tree shaded road it will be even cooler: 10°C or more. A little wind is a lot of ventilation and cooling. |
Föderation EN Fr 02.08.2024 19:06:27 @breadandcircuses nah, let people be cooked |
Föderation EN Fr 02.08.2024 19:48:48 Even better when air quality is factored in. |
Föderation EN Fr 02.08.2024 20:32:57 Green is the key. Green trees and especially green kelp and seaweed. Much more important than green $$. |
Föderation EN Fr 02.08.2024 23:37:13 @breadandcircuses @gregatron5 there’s not enough talk about city and residential regulation to increase the albedo of roads and roofs. Black asphalt roads and dark roofs should be banned. |
Föderation EN Fr 02.08.2024 23:43:15 I feel it when biking around. It's the primary reason I try to take side streets as much as possible instead of stroads. The biking distance is the same (or even longer) on the side streets, but it's less physically taxing because of the shade. |
Föderation EN Fr 02.08.2024 23:46:06 @breadandcircuses um lol I'm calling bullshit |
