Yes, it's just a tree.
A new tree can grow.
The Philistine instagrammers will be disappointed. So sad.
It's not a Roman tree.
A new tree literally grows (on) trees.

- hiatus 3y agoAre you really comparing cutting down a tree to murdering a human being?
- 11235813213455 3y agomore or less, a tree is highly beneficial to the environment, it takes a long time to replace it (10+ years for that size, which is important for many other species, if only it manage to grow back), a human is not often beneficial on the other side we could compare human and an insect even, or a human and a whale, it's not really about size
- hiatus 3y agoWhen I was a lifeguard as a kid, I once arrived at the pool to find thousands of flies dead, floating on the surface. I thought to myself, "If these flies were humans, this place would be a battlefield," and went on with skimming the pool.
- 11235813213455 3y agothis shows how lethal are humans with their "swimming pools", that's more my thought, not just directly with that water but all the plastic, energy and resources wasted I truely love flies, many beautiful species in trees, extremely useful and evolved insect
- sarchertech 3y agoDepending on the tree, not in your lifetime it won’t. I have a rather nice oak tree that shades my house and my lawn. If someone chops it down, I could plant a new one. It would take 80 years to reach a similar size. For many species it takes much longer than that.
