GAIAN A'TREE'CITIES

Oh dear, the latest act of financial suicide from the Gaians...or the madness that is Green ideology...forgive me; religious orthodoxy from the god aka Gaia:

"ANN ARBOR – The University of Michigan has begun the process of relocating one 200-year-old oak tree in the way of a campus renovation project – a pricey, green-friendly effort expected to cost the university as much as $400,000 on a campus that is already home to an estimated 16,000 trees.

News this week of the tree relocation came as students were also reminded of another financial burden – their tuition was ratcheted up for this school year, Provost Martha Pollack told students in a recent email. Student fees and room and board costs were also increased.

As for the 65-foot-tall oak tree, it’s not something the vast majority of students have traditionally gathered around over the decades. It’s not known to be a spot for marriage proposals, or a hang-out for tree huggers. Students don’t gather around it and sing Kumbaya.

“It’s just a tree,” one University of Michigan alumnus told The College Fix."
