Trees Are Life: Why Proper Tree Care Matters More Than Ever

Trees provide significant public and private value in a community. They represent both an appreciating asset and a potential risk in managing residential and commercial landscapes. Trees remain symbols, icons, pillars, ceilings and centerpieces of our communities.

A tree can feel like an important part of your family, much like a pet. Trees fill landscapes, line streets, and provide much-needed shade in summer, cooling the air we breathe and offering shelter during a storm.

The aesthetic value of trees is priceless. Imagine your world without trees to look at, or without their homes for birds and animals. They help clean our air by trapping pollutants in their leaves and bark. During photosynthesis, trees absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen, while transpiration adds water vapor to the air, improving air quality.

Trees are an integral part of our existence and should be treated as such. Please stop topping your trees! They are too important to our environment and well-being. Call me for the right alternative to make your trees safe, healthy and beautiful.

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
