I found myself explaining the Urban Heat Island to a cop a few nights ago after a lady in the neighborhood called the cops on me for planting trees on city property next to her house.
I can get behind planting more trees, but it sounds like they just started planting them on city-owned land without permission? I somehow doubt an argument with a cop about how great the trees will be is going to get them out of that.
There is also a webpage. With words.

I really appreciate written words over video.
That post made me angry at how stupid the built environment is in most places.
