I recently found out that in some councils around Sydney, residents can request a street tree for their nature strip.

Some of the councils that mention a request process on their website include:
* Campbelltown City Council
* City of Parramatta
* City of Ryde
* The Hills Shire Council
* Randwick City Council
* Sutherland Shire Council

Dear #Seattle folks, are you confused about the proposed new Seattle Tree Protection Ordinance? Here's a great chance TONIGHT to get all your questions answered and to find out how you can use your voice to make the ordinance better. While it offers some increased protection for Seattle's life-giving #urbanforest some provisions will lead to a loss of trees. We can have both #affordablehousing AND #Trees /1

A nearby house installed a heated driveway this summer.

The melted snow refreezes on the sidewalk and street, making them treacherous.

Evidence that for some, the price of electricity is way too low. Additionally, this project was permitted by our progressive city council.

Beetje gek om vandaag over een "stedelijk hitte-eilandeffect" te spreken, maar het is er wel degelijk. ❄️🌡️❄️📉

Haben PV Fassaden und deren UHI gestern mit Dr Ye Tao andiskutiert, nach einer Besprechung zu Sensoren für Dürre Anpassung Maßnahmen im Winter.

The world is warming due to climate change a significant cause of which is concrete, see: https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2019/feb/25/concrete-the-most-destructive-material-on-earth
Hence we need to use less concrete & cool our streets with trees as they can reduce temperatures by an average 12°C @jonburkeUK @JadDaley @lloydalter @ArchitectsCAN
