A new survey has found that people are more likely to trust their neighbors than trees. The survey, conducted by a team of researchers from the University of Chicago, set out to explore the relationship between humans and trees in urban areas. The survey found that people are more likely to turn to their neighbors for help than they are to trees, even when it comes to solving problems related to the environment. The survey asked 1,000 participants from different cities across the country to rate how much they trust trees, their neighbors, and their elected officials to address environmental issues. Surprisingly, the survey revealed that people trust their neighbors more than they trust trees. This finding suggests that people may feel more connected to their neighbors than they do to the environment. The results of this survey may have implications for how cities should prioritize resources when it comes to environmental issues.
