So you would need at least one adult tree per person to make an impact; for most cities that would amount to a forest.

- dvdkon 3y agoThat doesn't sound like that much, especially in less-dense cities and if you count "embedded" forests/parks. Looking at local newspaper articles suggests Prague has possibly more than that, but mostly in forests, not on streets. I don't know enough to say if/how much that would help with air quality.
- wouldbecouldbe 3y agoI live in a city with trees, an adult tree normally takes up the space of a big block, you can have maybe 20-30 on a space where 400 live if you cover the street. Most likely plants can be more a efficient way. Probably everything fast growing is more oxygen converting, and co2 storing
- wouldbecouldbe 3y agoI did some reddit research, bamboo seems highest oxygen convertor, so plant a few bamboo forest if the climate allows it. Would also look cool
- vel0city 3y agoFor my current home I've got 7 trees and several bushes for four people. I don't exactly live in a forest. My neighbor who lives alone has at least four trees on their property.
