The Founder and Convener of the Green Republic Project, Mr Nana Yaw Osei-Darkwa, has called on the Ministry of Roads and Highways to develop a policy that will make it obligatory for road contractors to plant trees along the roads they construct.
Trees get hardly any energy or materials from nutrients in the ground. They eat carbon from the air and use sunlight to power up their almighty water pumps. Think how stupid those last folk on Easter Island must have felt, killing that which kept them alive. HA, SO IT GOES.
Trees didn’t exist for the first 90 percent of Earth’s history and before that, Earth was home to fungi that grew 26 feet tall. And adding one tree to an open pasture can increase its bird biodiversity from almost zero species to as high as 80
Heartbroken that one of my mates cut a lovely tree down in his garden just so he could have less shade – ironically he is a bird spotter. Life gets me down sometimes, trees bring me back.
We can create net zero-carbon roads worldwide by planting trees along all highways and streets.
How about taking roads underground and turning the space they occupy into green parks?

CO2 absorbing paints are becoming increasingly popular as people look for more innovative ways to combat carbon emissions.

I bet they are slagging us right off, and rightly so.
