- Overview
I am skeptical of the CO2 mitigating effects of a few living benches, even in a microclimate, mentioned under reference 39. This part is also fairly informal, and offers none of the obvious counter arguments.

- Counter Arguments
1. Might take more energy to shape these trees than they offset.
2. What about when the trees are growing? Would they be in the way of normal benches (and whatnots)? Or would they be grown offsite, contributing to counter argument 1.
3. Who would pay for these? 50.96.225.113 (talk) 02:00, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
