Hi, Maria, I appreciate you reading and referencing my story, but it's satire. The only truth in the entire piece is the existence of the concrete panels with the trees painted or etched on them. Seeing them every day on my drive to work, they struck me as funny and ludicrous, so I made up this story about their reason for existing as a way to spur some thinking about our narrow-minded approach to climate change.
