      It’s not just trees as well – on a hot day, you feel a huge difference when you step away from the buildings and off the black tarmac and onto grass even if there’s no shade from trees.

      Sadly we often seem to be going the in the other direction – it’s depressing watching trees getting cut down and gardens turning into tarmac on so many residential roads.

      Got to be worth a go. Trees do need looked after for a few years after planting too so they don’t die. Let’s not forget that.

      The moment I get to switch from the exposed road to the wooded cycle path is blissful.

      Not just the lack of cars but the protection from the elements makes cycling so much better. Heat in particular really drops off as soon as you enter the trees.

      From my experience of wild fires woodland makes for an excellent fire break. I guess that is only up to a certain point though having seen the fires in places like California.

      Trees provide shade and reduce CO2….radical ideas, glad we have experts to advise us 🤔

      Trees in cities is crucial at this point. They help with heat due to evapotranspiration and providing shade. It’s a solution which cities could do to help stop them becoming worse urban heat islands.

      Whats the point when we aren’t allowed to water them.

      The only thing worse than concreting over stuff is replace grass with astroturf. Bloody horrible looking stuff before you get to the microplastics.

      That’s not going to do a fucking thing to counteract the LITERAL NEW TOWN being built next to my house.

      Who would have thought that throwing concrete slabs everywhere in sight would raise the temperature in that area?

      Won’t make money for the ruling classes so unlikely to happen 🙄

      It might be a good idea to change the law to stop actively discouraging air conditioning as well.

      They also help with flooding, who’d have thought it!

      Took me a long time when I moved here from the Continent to realise why the UK was weird and I didn’t really enjoy the towns and cities. They are concrete wastelands with no trees and countless parking garages.

      No shade in summer, no lovely cool breeze. In one town I lived in, in Berkshire, the common was just a barren coppiced stretch with grasses and shrubbery. It was made out to be a slice of the countryside and nature…. But there was no shade anywhere! So strange. When I tell Brits they’re like “oh yeah, I guess so”, like they’ve never noticed.

      Yes please, let’s have trees instead of kebab factories.

      My council has an “adopt a tree” scheme where you can pay £70-£90 to have a street tree planted in the street outside your home. I’m the only one in my street to have taken advantage of it so far.

      Look to see if your council does something similar. I like my tree.
