    Just like a bunch of granola-eating, tree lovers to call this some sort of treepocalypse.

    Trees churn out oxygen, which, in sufficient quantity, is DEADLY. Trees have it coming.

    And just so you know, I print out every every web page I visit in triplicate JUST TO KILL MORE TREES! To hell with the trees! Death to our arborial enemies!

    @takeouteurotrash: Japanese make carbon dioxide. Also deadly, but not as much as oxygen.

    Curious: Is there anyone who looks after the health of the trees in Riverside Park?

    Shouldn't there be someone keeping track of and pruning the branches that appear as if they might fall off during a heavy rain?

    Just throwing that out there.

    I'm not getting the joke -- what's funny about hundreds of trees getting wacked by a storm?

    Do you hate trees? Or is this just a summer friday talking.

    You also missed the critical point that hugging a tree is neglecting a hug that could potentially go to make immense with your suburban parents who are discouraged they still have to pay your cell phone bill..

    You completely missed that she's hugging a tree, but wearing cotton. Who's she to say exploiting cotton is OK, but no, not the trees!

    My question is: Isn't this humiliating to the trees?


    Maybe somebody should ask Clint Eastwood to talk to them and find out.
