WildCherry,

Great podcast! The benefits of planting trees are so plentiful and diverse it's almost criminal that more aren't planted.

Aside from all the facts and figures you've researched, the simple fact is, like the recovery of hospital patients shows, people just feel better when trees and foliage is close by.
