A glaring waste of public money is the work of seasonal employees running gas-powered weed-eaters against young trees.

This highly destructive practice chews the bark from young trees that have already cost public funds. We urgently need more trees to absorb the greenhouse gas, CO2, but gas-powered engines pump CO2 into the air, and we are paying people to destroy the trees?

Who is responsible for this entirely avoidable public folly?
