Widespread environmental change begins with envisioning (and making visible) the wisdom already inherent in the natural world. This is an inspiring example of change in the right direction. Native super Trees in the right places.

Thank you Molly Glentzer for making visible the beautifully written story Houston's newest heroes are native ‘super trees’ with special eco-powers

“Live oaks are the heaviest lifters, able to sequester 268 pounds of carbon emissions and absorb more than 2,600 gallons of flood water and 2 pounds of greenhouse gases by the time they are 10 years old. The top 12 super tree list also includes, in descending ranking, box elder, laurel oak, red maple, river birch, American elm, slipper elm, tulip tree, American sycamore, green ash, loblolly pine and white ash.” - in the words of Molly
