When the trees were large

Few people remember that before Moscow was very green and pleasant city. It is now it has turned into a stone bag for storage of thousands of dirty clunkers. And before all the main streets grew beautiful linden and chestnut trees were in bloom, which jumped squirrels and sang beautiful songs of the birds of paradise. Trees disappeared imperceptibly. The lack of care of the trees killed herself, the others decided to just cut down. And that's not a pedestrian already in the shade of beautiful trees and hundreds priparkovonnyh way through the dusty streets of cars.

The official reason gibili trees - poor environment. Like, can not be beautiful trees grow among machines tolerate reagents and exhaust fumes. This is all, of course, nonsense. The trees feel well in all parts of Moscow. Why trees along the hotel Moscow and Tver were killed, and in the Alexander Garden survived? The difference of 50 meters. On Kutuzovsky Prospekt still trees, although it is one of the busiest highways. Trees destroyed, because they were made to interfere with motorists and traders. Lovely defenseless trees began to close signs boutiques, billboards obstruct and interfere park bydlopovozkam.

But the trees create a favorable atmosphere in the streets. Where you a pleasant walk: in the park or in the parking lot? Now sidewalks turned into a parking lot. No normal person will not want to walk among the parked cars. The trees, of course, need to return. Return them to the Tverskaya street and Garden Ring. The larger the tree - the better. On Tverskaya Street need a garden, no parking! The city should be for people.
