About this episode
The episode discusses the shift from planting trees to adopting and maintaining existing trees in urban environments.
For decades, environmental action has been built on a simple idea: plant more trees. But in many places, especially cities, space is limited, and the real challenge is no longer just planting. It is maintaining what already exists. That shift has sparked a new approach. Instead of planting a tree, you adopt one! On the show: Niu Honglin, Steve & Yushan
