Can someone answer this question? The lack of logic has been bugging me today.

Regarding the environment, all of nature, and global warming, why haven't ANY of the politicians screaming about it funded an enormous initiative to plant more trees?

Why do they tell us it is an existential problem, and then hop on their private jets to fly to the next political rally?

Do they think we don't notice any of that?

Hey!!!! Maybe WE should start our own plant a tree movement!!! If they won't do it, maybe we should!!!!

They don’t want real solutions, they want to whine about problems in order to get elected or re-elected and make laws that will benefit themselves such as bring them a bit of money to stick in their pockets.

@cherokeepatti Maybe we should plant the trees anyway. There used to be a place that sold really tiny saplings for $1.00.

@4meAndyou It doesn’t take much to sprout the seeds. I see oak trees popping up in the yard that the squirrels have planted.

@4meAndyou Found it...10 free trees that are guaranteed to grow where you live, and 10 more planted in a National Forest.
