  • Boring...I hate your attitude...im going to chop down a dozen tree's in my neighborhood just to balance out your thoughtless actions.

  • @lsi624 How is planting trees thoughtless? It makes the air cleaner and makes the street look nicer.

  • @yerk3 Not to worry...that tree was knocked over by a bus 3 week ago

  • Hugely positive video.

  • that's amazing beautiful idea you're so nice

  • American thinking.The land cover with concrete where eye see and if i would be a tree i would cry to live there.And this is making green lololololol like punching a bag and waiting when its knocked out lol.But the solar energy is good thats very fine should force out to do it very big time.Happy to see it.

  • @belaerdei well i guess since there is a lack of trees in the area and the tree would produce fresh oxygen and help provide more clean air since the area is filled with car polution, yeah i agree with you. planting a tree there is sooo pointless. lets just spend billions of dollars and buy up the cut down forests we sold to logging companys and replant them

  • @devol264 Well if you guess they just plant a tree there to suffer for life in a concrete jail.And the American mentality again buy forest with money like a forest can be meassured in money lol.

  • @belaerdei im sure the tree doesent care lol. of course we would buy it with money thats how the world runs these days. all land is owned by someone sadly. unless we wanted to start forcing people. what do you think should we go to war with countrys that cut down their forests and make them replant them?

  • @devol264 Actually the tree is cares about where it is just people dont care about a tree.If you want to start war then the first place should be bomb is yourself and the citys that look like cancer cells from the sky and the selfish people in it,you would just do a faver for the earth.

  • @belaerdei "And the American mentality again buy forest with money like a forest can be meassured in money lol."

    Exactly. That would actually help save some forest habitats. Property rights to the owners of a forest along with putting a value to the forest would help keep it alive rather than have everybody collectively use it (like with the Rain Forest in South America). Confused? Look at history. The American Buffalo was saved that way and some endangered Elephants in Zimbabwe.

  • @eric5335 Yes confused a litle what you written there.The forest need to be saved?Or if i put value(money)in a forest that change the fact why the forest need to be saved at the first place.

  • @belaerdei Confusing, right? Start with reading about how the American Buffalo was saved. You will have to read about how libertarian environmentalism works. Don't reject, just because you hear the word "libertarian". Be open minded and read about it yourself.

  • @eric5335 Ahh boy that mentality problem again.Step one forword then step back two.When you put money in a forest to be "saved" that money is coast probably 2 forest somewhere else.And we can chat about what kind of methods to use,the fact is not the forest need to be saved,its us the human is need to be saved from fake procreation.But honestly how can we say that we saved a forest,its just sedation for ourself when we step and step clooser for...

  • Planting a tree... Small act large Impact

  • There are more than enough trees. Another one just fell on my neighbor's house. Green is wrong and a big scam that's killing jobs.

  • Instead of wasting time and energy, why don't you just make the city fix the sidewalk and plant the tree like they're supposed to!?

  • Resident you are an inspiration to the millions of good for nothing, boy-crazy and totally superficial girls out there. As pretty and talented as you are you could be modelling or making a fool of yourself in a reality show, yet you use your talent for positive and useful causes. I love what you are doing and I hope you never change! God bless you!

  • LOL, Now the city can fine you for an overgrown tree,

    which is on their property, BUT you must maintain.

    Oh yeah...and plant tress and "go green" as the gov says....LOL

    USA is joke

  • some kid is going to come along and snap that tree in half... also, in about 1-2 years, those panels will be damaged and caroded and will produce about 15% of their full potential power.

    You might save 20-30k $ in heating bills, but they costs about 180,000$ to put in.

    GF, capital bastards win, you loose.

    actual facts,

    on average solar panels take about 40 years to pay themselves off, and have a usage life of a maximum of 25 years.

  • wouldn't the roots fucked up the concrete?

  • @surfdudezuri Not uless the tree gets REALLY big. Even then, by the time the roots get big enough to buckle the pavement, it needs to be replaced anyway because of deterioration from the elements.

  • going green is propaganda

  • hi, please I don't want u to go green, Pls GO NUDE....

  • oh wow...these are heros

  • that sidewalk is screwed. When that tree gets bigger, the roots are going to crack it all up.

  • doing this shit doesn't make a difference to the ozone. whatever effort these environmentalists put in is completed ruined in seconds by the chinese

  • actually one american produces more waste in a day than one chinaman. The only reason china is more polluted is because they have a bigger population.

  • true, but because there are so many people in china, whatever we do here to protect the planet is wasted when the chinese fuck it up. so unless we can convince china to stop growing their economy because the treehuggers in america feel bad about the planet, i'm not even gonna bother caring.

    we're hypocrites anyway, since our economy wouldn't be so powerful if we didn't pollute the planet.

  • china's leader actually brags about being the number 1 polluter. He thinks it is a symbol of power of something. I think that guy is crazy. But you are right. the world is already shot. There is no piont in planting a tree. It isn't going to do any good.

  • IF we dont do anything at all, things are going to get worse and worse but if we at least try to go green mayb we'll keep things the way they are now (which is not in a good condition b/c ppl think they cant make a difference)

  • that's a big maybe, like less than 1% chance. most countries don't care about going green, especially if we tell them they should. we're fucking hypocrites cause we spent almost 200 years polluting our planet in order to develop our economy to the level its at today

  • global warming is a FAKEEEE

  • have you seen the polar ice caps lately? They are melting. Global warming is real. The idea that man is causing it is not. Climate change is a natural occurance.

  • PLEASE EVERYOne. look up wireless energy transfer and nikola tesla. its very important for your future! i even put up information on my site if you are interested. if we build his technology there will be energy anywhere on the earth! please check this out!

  • Going geen is all one big SCAM! Climate change is cause by the sun, the Earth's axis, & the Earth's orbit. Saying "global warming is a man-made problem" is just a bunch of bull! How stupid can people really be? Next thing you know, Al Gore is going to tax us just for breathing (since we exhale carbon dioxide)

  • dude you are dead on man

  • This doesn't prevent you from stopping spilling tons of garbage in the nature. And you can't ignore this, otherwise you're an awesome dumbass

  • I support planting a tree only if its going to be a Palm tree. LOL

    I actually have 2 acres of Coconut Trees in my back yard here in the Caribbean. lol

    Coconut water is the best thing for your kidneys btw.

    But I like seeing it something about the long trunk and branches ontop like an umbrella that just fascinates me.

    I tried going green once but it did suck. I realized American oil companies kept buying out Solar Companies researching cheap nano and plastic solar cells.

    What a thing eh?

  • You should go green and plant trees or save a species or recycle or ride bicycle or stop using electricity ONLY if it makes YOU feel good. Because that's about all it does. I find it silly that the humans think we can actually save the earth. Who are we anyways? We are just like bacteria on a toilet bowl multiplying producing foul odor.

    The earth doesn't need humans to save it, because the earth will save itself, even by just wiping all us out.

  • Looks like fun...at least until i spent a summer landscaping...lol

    6.6kw of potential "green energy" courtesy of the fossil fuels and the pollution needed to make the silicon.......Alas, There is a catch 22 in everything

    Not knocking on you, but gotta be a bit sarcastic....that little tree is really gonna help with the CO2? :P

    Why not plant tons of gardens on top of the buildings? They'll do more and you'll get fresh food too!

  • This is studied actually !

  • If I go green, you know what I mean.

  • I'd rather cut a tree down while poluting the enviroment with my chainsaw. more fun!

  • Yes

    Ingnore those assholes who say were selfish,were not,there selfish

  • waste of time going green the earth can take care of its self all it needs to do is get rid of the humans problem solved

  • In twenty years they'll be spending taxpayer money to cut that stupid tree down because the roots will be tearing up the pavement. Going green is just an expensive way to be a jerk-off liberal. Wake up, the Earth has been on a cooling trend for the last seven years.

  • Wow, never really looked at it that way. You're right.

  • My 71 year old godfather remembers the time in the late 60's when the world was afraid we were going into an ice age. Also, we have more forests in America than we did 100 years ago, because the more trees we cut down, the more we plant.

  • going green dose not suckkkkkkkkkkkk

  • yeah, it kind of doessssss. Mostly because they ask you to give up tons of shit, when they should be coming up with cheaper alternatives.

    But don't worry, the government is now actually funding green tech.

  • Looks like destruction of public property to me.

  • Green in jew talk is code for $ hint hint....

  • I don't like the title you gave it.

  • Sounds like FAIL to me.

  • sounds like ur mom FAILS HEYWOOOOO!! HIGH FIVE AHHH YAA ;)

    dude stfu :D

  • even though you plant a tree it makes you feel better about your self but it does nothing to impact the world so you keep trying

  • That's completely false. In fact, our actions impact the world more than we can realize. It's not a matter of yes or no. A simple gesture of good will isn't absolutely decisive but contributes.

    Planting a tree is not only a new tree, but also a new mind and a great example. Even more if this action is seen by above 12000 people through the Internet.

  • no thats ur opinion/or point of veiw but still no one has real proof that global warming exist the earth is going through a cycle like it normaly does so i dont see the temp rising 1 degree higher because it looks and feels the same so i dont care if you plant a tree it still wont make a diffrence but doing a good deed for no cause at all

  • Congratulations! You've convinced me! I'm only a human being and your reasoning is amazing.

  • ok hopefuly i didnt make you angry in any way what so ever

  • When I come to visit NYC, I'm gonna hugg yer tree.

    Then I will fertilize feed it, by crapping at it's base.

    I love yer tree.

    THE END.

  • that tree isnt going to survive ...

  • I remember a place that planted nice oxygen breathing trees just to have the tree roots break the sidewalk, curb and street not to mention the roots broke the waterlines under the road as well. Must have been revenge for all of their tree relatives being cut down.

  • Many people do not seem to understand that trees, animals and the earth have a symbiotic relationship. Tress breath our carbondioxide, they exhale oxygen which we breathe, the oxygen is also used to build ozone- 3 oxygen atoms. Of coarse thier should be no question what the earth does for the trees. A complete symbiotic circle!

    There should be a law worldwide. For every tree you cut down, you should be required to plant 2 in its place.

  • Where's the after picture?

    This should be renamend "urban landscaping.

    One tree? You should have planted a cover crop. Like allysum.

    Solar panels are old school. Magnectic refraction coils generate 200 amps at 60hz with voltage to spare.

    Green=lame.

  • However, there is an aspect of going green that I can NEVER bring myself to do - that is, to pan green (as opposed to pan blue).

    That is a sport for those filthy Chinks (in Taiwan, overseas and even within China promoting Taiwanese Independence) who should all be gathered, tried and executed for treason in China for their wrongful active participation.

    Please do not make or persist in the same mistake as them.

  • Personally I've gone green since a long time ago.

    I mean, I've always advocating getting more greenbacks for myself, and seeing people get that more than me makes me green (eyed).

  • it will be cool to see that tree now

  • NYC BOIIIIIIIII WASHINGTON HEIGHTS!

  • well I know one thing its not a bad thing to think about. Oil sure isnt gonna stay this cheap very much longer. Another way is to buy green tech company stocks even Ford and GM have way more efficient car designs on the back burners and they should probably go forward with those. People will want them when oil starts climbing.

  • Say Lori, next time you're bustin' up a sidewalk, please wear safety glasses. I don't wanna see The Blind Resident!

    Love Tri-State gurls

  • I thought the tree would go into root shock with the roots not closed into a root ball. Guess not. Did you say Linden tree?

  • I think I saw a chicken bone that might have been worth something. :-D

  • At least she's making an effort. What have you done lately?

  • its not so much an effort as all she is doing is putting a video up most likely hoping ppl will be like "oh shes so cool" being green is not necessarily about doing the above n beyond like buying the solar powered roof or w/e which seem expensive n then hope to be praised for it. all it takes is to choose plastic over paper or use an air dryer rather than paper towels. hell i dont even drive (i live in the city). ya shes making an effort but for the wrong reasons it would seem

  • Whatever her intentions; there is now a little more oxygen for your kids to breath.

  • something must be done before it is too late

  • if people wanna go green they need to go live in a hut sell there car kill there own food.

  • "Americans" are buying Jap Crap because we are now a third world nation.

  • just about third world the goverment almost can do what they want when they want.

  • Nice Cadillac DTS parked near your new tree! If more Americans would have bought USA-built cars we wouldn't be in the debtor position we are right now. I have seven Oldsmobiles, Buicks and Cadillacs and they always run great! And...you are, once again, fabulous!

  • Yeah but Americans like those but we have the ones that like the Japaneses cars more but i think American auto makers need to step it up!!

  • Global warmers are always dumb.

  • Going green in Fort Greene. I love Brooklyn. Prospect Heights & Fort Greene. Grew up near there and the video brought back memories of street corner Doo Wop, real pizza, Italian ices and egg creams. Stuck in the Sierra mountians near beautiful Lake Tahoe these days but Brooklyn I'll be home soon!!!

  • You are beautiful, but damn you need to learn how life rolls. You are way to liberal for me and I can't believe how none of you know how to use a shovel. I could have planted that tree in 5 minutes by myself. Typical lib though, talk alot but really can't get anything done.

  • The Resident is a tree-hugger and she's wearing hip-huggers! Me likey!  ;)

  • I just stumbled on your channel and after watching 7-8 of your videos now, I have to tell you how glad I am. I love your videos! The topics you present. Your opinions. And even the little things like your statement about feeling bad for the trees that won't be picked in this video. Looking forward to watching more!

  • hands out off pockets... better

  • Stop watching Youtube and save energy!

  • Yes your job as a resident on this planet is done. You have planted a tree.

    Solar panels are nice....but they should be installed as a regular design option into most commercial/residential buildings. This planet as a whole better start getting it's collective green asses in gear and do more than plant 1 or 2 trees if we want our children to enjoy living here as much as we did. We treat this planet like our own personal rental property, but we can't just ditch out on the rent this time.

  • those solar panels were awesome and i love planting trees.

  • lol

  • ahahaha

  • wonder how much gas and diesel fuel it took to bring those trees in????? how come NOTHING was mentioned about that??.. and talk about bad parenting, kids with no eye protection?..and i hope they had a permit for that shit...HYPOCRITE!

  • you're an idiot. Planting trees is beneficial for the environment, its good for the neighborhood by increasing your property value. It amzes me that nutjobs like you find a way to complain about anything

  • HAHA its so easy to get tree loving hippies started.and hate to burst your bubble,that spot where the tree is going, its still gonna collect garbage. its the inner city.and will probally die from the bus fumes and the dogs and homeless people pissing on it.not saying youre a hypocrite,im saying she is,shes worring about the planet as she is dying her hair.if she isnt crushing berries and using it as hair dye. its more then likely bad for the earth.

    so my gotweed04 hippie friend.have a green day

  • hippie pothead

  • It's not like she's a tree-hugger. She just planted a tree -.-

  • Judgemental maybe?

  • GPCMALIBU, a lot more fuel than it took to get that Made In China computer from the factory, to the docks in China, then across the Pacific Ocean, off the docks in the USA, across the country/state, into the stores, and then into your home.

  • No thanks, I'm too cool to plant a tree.

  • Where is your eye protection? You are putting those children at risk!

    OMG! Don't tell me that you actually drove a gasoline burning TRUCK to get the trees...no bicycles? No wagons? Lazy hypocrites!

    What did you guys do with the concrete that you removed? I hope that you took it to a recycling center instead of just throwing it in the trash.

  • @TomSnakebite stfu you prick what the hell did you do? aint a dam thing so shut you're mouth you internet troll

  • "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn." :-)

    A Japanese company, Genepax

    /watch?v=CrxfMz2eDME

    built a car that runs on fuel cells powered by a system that quickly and easily cracks water into hydrogen and oxygen.

    Solar panels are large, expensive and inefficient.

    btw

    I love to see you dance in public.

  • they kept nagging at the politics to go green and they said nah.then idea spark! money making scam! fully motivated action alert-go! ripofffff

  • hmmm i hate being stuck around someone digging.they give you a look saying "oi your turn to do the hard work!"

  • Thanks!

  • Should've used a chisel to break the concrete or a pickaxe. Guess you had to work with what you had. Nice to see some trees going up. Good job Res! His roof can also be turned into a garden. Wind turbines and solar cells can be homemade. Nice for those who have the time. Great vid Res!

  • Cool idea. Instead of destroying nature you're doing a little effort to help it. Way to go girl

  • cute video but plant baldcypress or willow oak, squirrels will appreciate it

  • Hey, The Res, nice job. If we all did a little bit there would be no pain and much gain. Being environmentally friendly doesn't have to cost much in time or money.

    Technical point: your audio compression is way too high. Sounds like 16kbps MP3 or something. Too much! I reckon, considering videos get recompressed, you'd want 64kbps on your uploaded file. Preferably AAC. :-)

  • It pleases me that he also painted his roof white to offset the heat island effect from building rooftops. This should be mandated for all new construction in every city.

  • yay..... off with concrete! i am sick of concrete. HOUSTON IS SO UGLYyyyyy

  • Cool, kudos to the old guy with a huge solar panel. I hope I have a solar roof, can it be installed on a average house in suburbia?

  • Solar cells can be installed in suburbia, however, you may not be allowed to put them up if your city or neighbourhood doesn't allow them. Similar to how satellite dishes can be restricted. Also, the amount of power you get depends on the amount of sunlight the cells receive. They can be expensive as well, but are an EXCELLENT source of energy!

  • There are a bit expensive but can be installed

  • I dug the laughing jump for joy The Resident did in this and the happy Riverdance moves.

  • I liked the Lord of the Dance moment.

  • Going green sucks...thank your Democrat carbon lover for that.

  • YaY for Rochester!!!!!

  • hhaha watching a whole bunch of city people trying to plant a tree is hilarious.

  • That's really funny how you said you feel bad for the ones you're not picking. That's how I feel when I buy my Christmas tree each year. Even though they're only going to die, I still feel remorseful for the ones left behind. :(

  • Good one. You are camouflaging your advertizing a lot better than you used to when you did it previously. I actually enjoyed this vid. You would make me a great wife. Wall-e out.

  • Was it the Uhaul truck?

  • Hmm... In this video its like we get to see the real you. You seem like you'd be cool to hang with.

  • planting a tree is trendy going green is on the cover Costco magazine. in fact it was trendy 5 minutes ago now its just so five minutes ago.its on the cover of costco magazine dammit

  • did they bury it deep enough?

  • Nice tree res. Thanks for keeping ti green.... i mean real

  • the comments are a good compliment lol

  • I ride my bike not because I buy into the global warming scam (I don't) It's just cheaper than driving & I lost 60 lbs this year.

  • Well since the average home is around for 50 years it might be a good investment.

  • A tree grows in Brooklyn!

  • Your Funny I bought a tree for My Mom for 75 bucks the guy couldn't find the keys to his bobcat so He said he would deliever it & My Mom couldn't decide where to put it until half past forever so when they got here the hole wasn't finished so they couldn't drop it right in. Wear eye protection when busting concrete

  • So glad I'm in the foothills of NC where the houses are built around the trees. In FL, where I just moved from, they raze acres of trees, build nasty box-house suburbs, and then plant a few pathetic saplings.

  • I don't think producing solar panels is eco-friendly, so to speak

  • No one plants trees in July. It's a waste. Remove this video and post it in Sept or Apr.

  • Hey rezi, you're in my Hood..

    You know that Old was jazzed when you said you wanted to go in his house.... Probably wishing the wife & kids weren't around.

  • Can you blame him? The Resident is smart and hot.

  • the roots are exposed!?!?

    wtf

  • Trees with roots exposed will have a (very) hard time catching on, the bigger the worse, the earlier in the year the worse. Get trees with earth attached..

  • great initative resident:-)

  • What a really cool way to get to know your neighbours! Every little bit helps with the environment that's for sure!

  • The Russians are talking about basing "B-2" style bombers in Cuba. How would those solar cells hold up against an ElectroMagnetic Pulse attack?

    Not too well? Hmmmm, just so long as he'd about as fu cked as the rest of the cave dwellers is good enough for me.

  • Yeah, that might have been real scary in the 1960's ....

  • actually, tubes prevailed in the 1960's, emp attack would have been limited to the few solid state circuits that were use at the time. Now everything is solid state.

    Besides, what does the 1960's have anything to do with it? The pentagon can't even protect itself from unarmed twin engine civil aircraft, how are they going to protect us from the Russians or the Chinese if they gang up on us?

  • a good idea from any perspective, say...for quality of life... Some simple pointers... it's usually best to plant trees during the winter. Also the trees purchased should come in either a container or sack (protect the roots. Dimple greenery and/or annuals are a good idea that provide protection for the soil and a great look that's practical. In a some areas it may be called "green"; however, many of us with yards plant dozens of plants each year just for nice landscape.

  • Such a noble deed. I'm sure the area residents are grateful!

  • that was COOL!

  • Going green looks like it sucks, but it does save money.

  • Nice ass.

  • Good for you Rez! I really have great respect for you for doing this. Im one with the environment myself so it alwayse makes me happy to see somone else helping the earth out!

  • Well done! but i hope you watered the tree right away and will do it like once every week if it doesn´t rain enough. woud be a shame i it died.

  • coolll trees planting...I did it last year

  • Is it a Jewish tree? It looks like a Hannakah candle.

  • That's funny. Come to think of it, NY does have a big Jewish component.

  • Yeah, and they should sell it on ebay. I hear people get a lot of money for things that have weirdly grown into the shape of some religious figure. ;)

  • Awesome video - I'm really glad you and everyone else really got into something like planting trees - like that!

    The power-generation is a fantastic step towards eliminating destructive and past-exercises for energy needs.

  • Way to go!

  • you guys were wearing jackets, so i assume your taped this during the winter. would be cool to see how the tree's doing now, some months later, and if it's blooming.

  • It was actually in like, May! It was just an unfortunate, cold, gray afternoon out of the blue. But the tree is coming along nicely! Next time I visit it I'll post a picture. :)

  • i can't believe you were using those baby sledgehammers. hehe :-)

  • My uncle plants hibiscus. Does that mean he is going green?

  • Someone should write a book about that video.

  • You know, I sort of don't mind if some people are just going green because it's trendy - the bottom line is that the planet and the life it contains are really being helped, even if the motives are a little off in some cases. All that really matters is that things are changing for the better. :)

  • mikma was here

  • Right every city needs more trees.

  • Isn't there an airline that bought a giant plot of land and is going to enough trees to fix all the damage that the aircraft did?

  • city dwellers...you should get out in the sticks a bit more. anyway, nice job.

  • loved your Russian dance Resi!

  • Thanks for putting this up, Resident. I like the longer videos. I prefer the interview segments on the streets. But this is not bad.

  • will you marry me and make life better?

  • Did I see a Happy Dance?

  • hahaha I love the tree dance when you finished planting the tree.

  • cool video. a tree planted, that's one more thing you can cross off your to-do list haha

  • I've always wanted to plant a tree in our neighborhood...this really motivates me!
