🌳 It’s National Tree Week! 🌳 Trees are more than just part of the landscape. They absorb carbon, clean our air, provide jobs, and strengthen communities.  Every tree you plant creates a real, tangible impact for people and the planet. This week, we’re shining a light on the power of trees and the role they play in building a better future. From restoring ecosystems to supporting families, every tree tells a story of hope and resilience. Let’s keep growing together—one tree at a time. 🌱

Trees thrive in forests, growing stronger and sharing resources when they’re together. Imagine if we took a page from their book—each of us planting a tree, creating a network of life and resilience across the world. Let’s build this green future as one. Plant a tree, plant hope, and let’s make our impact grow.

Plus exactly, why do we need a top speed of 150 km/h+ ... what is the sense of having that .. even if a car is able to do?! They should block that per default.
