Why Plant Trees?

Why plant trees? According to American Forests:

•Planting trees makes cents. Planting trees strategically around your home can cut your air conditioning bills in half by providing windbreaks and shade.

•Breathe in, breathe out. As trees grow, they naturally filter airborne pollutants like carbon monoxide, lower the air temperature and produce oxygen.

•Pay your carbon debt. Planting just 30 Global ReLeaf trees will absorb the amount of carbon dioxide that is produced by the average American lifestyle each year.

•Trees are beautiful! Plus, trees indigenous to the area are food sources and homes for birds and animals that depend on them for survival.
