I don't think they are intentionally killing the trees. This kind of widespread thing calls for education. It calls for some regulation changes and some capital money for more coal dumping pits. |

The idea is to stop this problem before it gets out of hand like it has on the Mainland. |
The tree is so badly burned that you can actually look at the cavity that has been created at the base of the trunk and see all the way through it. It has a sign 5 feet from it saying don't dump charcoal and a sign on the tree itself that says don't do that, but people do it anyway. |
These things are growing like a cancer on our city. |
