Go through the counter argument, what would it take to keep it?

From what you’re saying, you’ll likely need to rent a storage facility for that. They’ll advertise low rates initially, but I’d expect to pay over $100 a month unless you constantly move the stuff across different storage facilities. Then, if you move out of the area, you’ll need to bring this with you.

Once you have a cost to keep it, it will be far easier to justify getting rid of it.

Land based plants exist in an arms race between access to sunlight and water/nutrients. They have to physically occupy two separate areas. In contrast, water based plants only need to occupy one location, the water closest to the surface. Since there is no evolutionary advantage to starting to grow tall, water based plants don’t grow as tall.

Seaweed grows large, but it doesn’t need the kind of rigid structure trees have.

You need to figure out what land the trees get planted on. If it is private land, you should search if your area has a program to plant trees. If so, then try to assist them in getting trees planted in front yards.

If it is public land, try to identify the location and reach out to the appropriate government agency to convince them to plant trees. Again, there may be private or public programs to plant trees at little/no cost to the land owner.
