They Paved Paradise
===================
I watched some days ago a short clip about the strangler fig, a cool tree
that gives shadow and reduces the emission of greenhouse gases.
It is deemed a nuisance these days because it attracts yellow jackets
and bats that make the place dirty. The tree's roots lift cement and
cobble stones.
Because of that clip, I recalled the line "They paved paradis, and put up
a parking lot" from Joni Mitchell's song "Big Yellow Taxi". Following is
a link to that song:

So, some people poison those trees to kill them. Business owner think they
are better of without trees. Sidewalks, roads and parking lots are more
important these days. People ruin nature to make their business places more
attractive. Now they complain about what nature provides us with.
They paved paradise; now you can go to a tree museum to see the trees and
complain about them when they are in the city.
