Good to see that silver birch scores well on air cleaning, as well as its many other virtues as an urban (and rural) tree. Cheered at: “acts of cultural vandalism (such as felling the trees at Euston) don’t only harm our souls, they harm our lungs. The answer, of course, is to plant more trees. Not just in the countryside, but on streets and in gardens. Whilst I am proselytising, it wouldn’t harm matters to ban fake grass, do away with concrete drives and to legislate no-mow May”. Absolutely!
