As if the wasted tax dollars on Ukraine wasn’t bad enough, now Joey the Biden is giving $1 to a green group for what they called “tree equity” or something.
The United States Department of Agriculture announced earlier this month that the Biden administration will invest more than $1 billion to improve “tree equity” and expand access to green spaces.
“Trees make a difference,” the USDA stated. “Studies show that communities with access to trees and green spaces are associated with improved health outcomes, reduced crime, lower average temperatures, and an influx of other kinds of investments and new economic opportunities.”
The $1 billion in taxpayer dollars will be used for 385 grant proposals to “increase equitable access to trees and green spaces.” The grants are funded through the administration’s Inflation Reduction Act.
The USDA noted that all of the funds will go to “disadvantages [sic] communities” in “all 50 states, two U.S. territories, three U.S. affiliated Pacific islands, and in several tribal communities.”
The additional green spaces will cool city streets, improve air quality, and promote food security, health, and safety, the agency reported.
