Do you have messy
trees in your yard that you want to get rid of but feel bad? Do you feel stuck
in the environmental paradox when thinking of cutting these trees? Well you
don’t have to!
It is known
fact that killing trees is harmful to the environment because they provide lots
of benefits to the air we breathe and are an important agent for climate
control. However the mess and maintenance of some trees, like Cottonwoods
produce is too much to handle.
Cotton in the spring and early summer causes a big mess
and destroys your flower beds. Making it hard for you to enjoy your outdoor
space during the most pleasant and beautiful time of the year. Their wood is
very soft and they shed twigs all the time. These twigs ruin your lawn and your
lawn mower. But don’t despair; there are
ways to remove these trees without having to feel bad about their
extermination. Here are some simple
suggestions to help you
leave a positive footprint in the environment:
- Plant
other tree varieties that are less of a nuisance and grow fast.
- Don’t
want to replant? Then donate to the arbor society and/or buy trees to be
planted elsewhere.
- Work with your local officials/committees to plant more trees in the public areas of your neighborhood so they can be enjoyed by all.
Everyone hears
talk about deforestation and logging around the world and in true these things
are awful. However, this does not equal to tree removal in a residential
landscape. In fact I think there are more trees being planted in our
neighborhoods that ever before. Builders are getting better at saving trees
when building new homes and developments and we are all more aware of the
impact on our environment.
So don’t feel bad about that tree that has been
plaguing you, take it down, and plant something that fits your style and
improves your environment!
