we need to plant and plant and plant. it will hold the soil, make it cooler, help with erosion and pollution, put oxygen into the air. replace cement parking lots with grass and dirt, plant on top of roofs, create gardens. most of all plant trees again in our back yards, instead of more buildings. replace the trees on the city streets, they make shade for the sidewalks. we can cool it down, if we go on a nationwide, global planting spree. the water will be held in the soil and not evaporate into deluges like we’ve seen with the unprecedented amount of storms and tornadoes. it wouldn’t be that difficult. would it?
