I was aware of the problem, but not of the solution.

Without them, we wouldn&#39;t be able to breate, and our planet would be a lot hotter. So, yeah, southern California could stand to have more trees; we all could.<br /><br />I can see another advantage of rubber sidewalks- if you did manage to trip on the tree roots, falling on the rubber would be a lot easier on your body than falling on concrete!Paulahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16171802310115844104noreply@blogger.com
