What is more powerful, an air conditioner or a tree? After seeing this tweet from @jonburkeUK I went looking for the source. A tree could actually cool more than 10 ACs. treehugger.com/cool-cities-pl…

The cooling effect of a single, young street tree is the same as 5 room-sized air conditioners operating 20 hours/day. If every London borough had delivered the 50% increase in street trees that I did as a Hackney Cllr, we may have prevented the U.K’s first 40C+ heatwave.
