I'm launching a new project to document one of the things that makes me the happiest: shade. Tag Happy Shady Place or use #happyshadyplace on Twitter & Instagram to share your happy, shady places with me and others.

Did you know that a mature canopy tree absorbs enough carbon and releases enough oxygen to sustain two human beings! Trees not only improve our cities sustainability but also make our streets more beautiful and happy places to be in. Thank you Brent Toderian for your post. x.com/BrentToderian/…
