Dangers of trees Trees are terrible things, but they have somehow convinced many people that they are actually beneficial. Consider the following: Falling trees damage property, cause power outages, and even kill people. Raging forest fires kill people and damage property, and forests are made of trees. Trees are used to make many houses, which can catch on fire and damage property and kill people. Lightning strikes kill people, damage property, and start fires, and trees attract lightning. Pollen from trees causes allergies, which is a very prevalent and costly health issue, and allergies can worsen or trigger asthma, which can kill people. West Nile Virus kills people and is spread by birds, which roost and nest in trees. Some people burn logs from trees, and burning logs produce CO2, which we known is a factor in climate change. Some trees are made into baseball bats and baseball bats are sometimes used to injure and kill people. Some trees are made into gun stocks, and people with guns can kill people. Trees are used to make paper, and paper can carry ideas, almost like viruses, and these ideas can kill people. Deciduous trees drop their leaves every year all over lawns, resulting in bajillions of dollars spent each year on leaf cleanup. Some trees are invasive pests when they are transported outside their native ranges, and combatting these pests costs bajillions of dollars each year. Coconuts fall from trees and sometimes injure or kill people. I could go on and on, but I think that you get the point. I hope that I’ve opened your eyes to trees being the terrible, and probably evil, things that they are and that you’ll help me get rid of as many as possible.
