Answers are out there, if our cities and counties would just listen. Some do. Some, like Seattle, pretend it's someone else's problem and just look the other way, a 'method' never proven effective for solving ANYTHING, especially in these times of denial. #seattle #urbantrees #greenspace #trees

UNlike Seattle, who continues to feed at the trough of developer greed and clearcuts while denying reality. It's sad when D's sell out. #urbantrees #urbancanopy #banclearcuts #seattle

UNlike Seattle, which is still spellbound under the corrupt call of developers who deny everything but their own pocketbook and don't even build 'affordable' housing unless absolutely forced to. And Seattle probably (momentarily) has more trees than them? #urbantrees #hypocrites #greed #clearcuts

and trees? Get 'r done. #urbantrees #protecturbanoldtrees #banclearcuts #stopdevelopergreed
