 Trees reduce greenhouse gases, air temperatures, and aide in absorbing rainwater. They are a good thing.

 @904855ee @3967703f How many homeowners researched whether their home was located in a flood zone designation  or even knew what that was or the implications?

 @8d1af2ae @8b089599 Definition of thriving would expectedly change from age 18 to 60+ and as a Black American woman, I wouldn't compare my feeling of thriving in the US to a White American woman's.  Some elements like education, income, and material possessions may be comparable   My emotional, physical, and mental wellbeing is negatively affected from living under a white supremacist power structure that is life threatening. My thriving is how to stay alive under those conditions.
