I think  they are  just  making  a point about Urban planting

I think I am really fortunate where I live, I do appreciate all of the green spaces. Whether all the claims about tree number is still true after some were removed controversially. Although I have seen dozens of new trees planted where I live.

Sheffield is a geographically diverse city. ... Estimated to contain around 4.5 million trees, Sheffield has more trees per person than any other city in Europe, and according to Sheffield City Council, it is England's greenest city, a claim that was reinforced when it won the 2005 Entente Florale competition.

Jeez don't they overcomplicate things

It's just plants

I’m lucky to live in a rural area with the countryside around me

Although I am quite interested in the piece, especially the part about Graphene which I know is a product making waves and Manchester appears to be one of the few cities developing the material.

I miss a good park - a proper village park

We had one with open air swimming pool, budgie cage (bizarre but true) and play area for kids, tennis courts

My garden doesn’t make me feel happy any more
