The shrinking tree coverage in Tampa Bay is a cause for concern, especially when it comes to rising electric bills. After Hurricane Milton, the city's tree cover reached a 20-year low, and residents are now feeling the impact. But here's where it gets controversial: some argue that the loss of tree coverage is not solely due to the hurricane, but also to the city's urban development and deforestation. This has sparked a debate about the true causes of the issue and the best course of action to address it. And this is the part most people miss: while the hurricane played a significant role, the long-term effects of urban sprawl and deforestation cannot be overlooked. So, what's the solution?
