That’s a very valid point, and I’ll freely acknowledge that I am privileged enough to have the space to grow and plant trees.
Keep looking for those opportunities, though! I won’t pretend to know the governance of your country, but if there are public spaces in your area there must be people who administer them, and they may be open to planting more trees if the public is behind it.
To be fair, public spaces in my country already have loads of trees in most places. In my city, there’s a park that doesn’t get mowed because they’re letting it grow into a grove. The trees are also very tall and healthy. It’s goddamn beautiful. Incidentally it’s also part of my commute whenever I walk (which depends on how early I manage to wake up, really)
