One of the most common uses of @AmericanForests's Tree Equity Score has been to make the case for more funding. A key goal of the tool is to "democratize the data," make it so easy to use that you can print your own report to advocate for your community. https://t.co/7aPgt2v7DB

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. https://t.co/EYkf2KfZkK
