Sustainable Trees: A Flowered Tree Canopy

Trees are one of the cheapest ways to improve your environment and fight global warming. It has its aesthetic benefits, soil protection, minimized pollution and helps to reverse global warming. Cities can generally improve tree cover fairly easy by planting in open fields, meridians and other places. Some cities have gone through tree planting initiatives to beautify their neighborhoods.

The benefits of trees for livable and sustainable communities

It would be interesting if one could pull a few studies in the literature on the density of trees in quality of life, income, health, economy, etc. just to see if there is some loose association with tree cover. Then run some numbers and maintenance costs to see if it is a net positive for local economies. 

I came up with an idea to use trees, even fruit trees, to create shade to reduce the need for watering gardens and farms. As a side thought one might wonder if you also use some fruit trees would that encourage birds and insects to reduce crop infestation. Just a side thought.
