City Tree

~2 min read

While waiting for physical therapy in a nearby city, I pull a plastic bottle from the branches of a small tree by the sidewalk. They say that if there were more trees like this in urban areas, the air would be fresher, cities would cool down, and we’d all be healthier and happier.

But please tell me 〜 how to build a city that makes a tree happy?
