Original text from the author

Hverfið okkar er að miklu leyti umvafið stórum og fjölförnum umferðargötum. Margfalda mætti fjölda trjáa og magn gróðurs í hverfinu, sígræn tré, háa þétta runna, litríkan gróður, t.d. meðfram Kringlumýrarbraut. Margt jákvætt sem af því fæst; gróður bindur koltvísýring í andrúmslofti, dregur úr hljóðmengun fyrir íbúa í nærliggjandi húsum og fegrar umhverfið.
