one of my favorite quotes about trees comes from William McDonough's TEDtalk.
Imagine this design project:
Design something that makes oxygen, sequesters carbon, fixes nitrogen, distills water, provides habitat for hundred of species, accrues solar energy as fuel, makes complex sugars and food, creates microclimates, changes colors with the seasons, and self replicates.
Yeah…Why don’t we knock that down and write on it…
