How about a tree-sitting tax? The proceeds will be aimed at tree-sitting cessation programs.

Indeed. Also, the state needs to look into this unregulated enterprise. We need standards for tree-sitters. And they should be required by the state to hold and official tree-sitting liscence, which would be obtained only after they complete a tree-sitting safety course.

If they are receiving material compensation, then I think OSHA should get involved to. Is the tree ergonomically sound? Is diversity fostered? Have they provided diversity training? Lot of work needs to be done, obviously.
