I have been following this development and feel strongly that <br />we must protect, preserve and expand our tree canopy in Everett, especially <br />in areas of little tree cover. I am an Everett resident of 17years, and have <br />lived in Snohomish County nearly all my life. <br />Not only do trees absorb and store carbon, especially as they get older, but <br />they cool neighborhoods for those who live in 'heat islands' with few trees. <br />This is a matter of environmental justice, and trees will absorb pollutants, <br />clean our air and better store heavy rainfall and runoff. <br />Please support this thoughtful and thorough proposal from the League of <br />Women Voters, as I do. Please add my name to this proposal. Thank you. <br />Sincerely, <br />Julie Martinson <br />2303 6th St, Everett, WA 98201 <br />
