Why We Need Trees?...

Trees, unlike humans, take in Carbon Dioxide and release Oxygen. Humans make the opposite exchange. One acre of forest puts out four tons of oxygen – that’s enough to meet the annual oxygen needs of 18 people, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Since Carbon Dioxide is the major contributor to Greenhouse gases, the less CO2 in the atmosphere the better. Trees absorb some of the Carbon Gases that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere. According to ColoradoTree.org, about 800 million tons of CO2 are stored in the trees that make up the urban forests of America. This means the more trees on our planet, the less CO2 in the earth’s atmosphere. If every American family planted just one tree, the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere would be reduced by one billion pounds annually. Planting trees is the cheapest, most effective means of drawing excess CO2 from the atmosphere.

Trees also reduce the greenhouse effect by shading our homes and office buildings. This reduces air conditioning needs up to 30 percent, thereby reducing the amount of fossil fuel burned to produce electricity. This combination to CO2 removal from the atmosphere, carbon storage in wood, and the cooling effect makes trees a very efficient tool in fighting the greenhouse effect.
