Thanks to John, Martin & the crew for their work installing the high-tech CityTrees which help filter harmful pollutants out of our air

#CityTrees do not replace our trees but complement them. We are planting 1,300 trees in parks & communities in 2021

Delighted to see the installation of innovative smart city trees in Cork. The moss acts as a particulate matter filter to ‘trap’ and ‘eat’ fine dust improving air quality and compliments the traditional tree planting which includes 1,300 trees this year. #smartcity #innovation

[Cork City Council @corkcitycouncil]

The 1st of our CityTrees were installed today on St Patricks St.

CityTrees help combat fine dust particle pollution &other pollution associated with traffic congestion.

Air pollution causes up to 1,300 deaths each yr, says @EPAIreland
