as we ALL should be, for - don't you remember- the most beloved President in the last 50 years- said so; therefore, it is true.

"Trees cause pollution" is a gloriously stupid concept foisted upon the public in 1981 by U.S. President Ronald Reagan. The full quote of his statement was, "Trees cause more pollution than automobiles do."[1]

Reagan was falsely referencing the photochemical reaction that causes ground level ozone pollution (GLOP), also known as photochemical smog"

4. Yes, and as a result Reagan was met by a sign on a tree that said, "Stop me before I kill again."
