How important is it to plant as many trees as we can?
Trees Keep Us Cool and Save Energy....the net cooling effect of a single young, healthy tree can be equivalent to ten room-size air conditioners operating 20 hours a day!
Trees Clean The Air We Breathe...just one acre of forest can absorb six tons of carbon dioxide and puts out four tons of oxygen.....enough for 18 people for a whole year!
Trees Relieve Stress...a study at Texas A&M University showed that visual exposure to setting with trees produced significant recovery from stress within five minutes, as indicated by changes in blood pressure and muscle tension!
Trees Add Value To Our World... figuratively and literally. While we can't put a price on the sheer beauty of a tree or the song of a bird it may attract, we can say this: Healthy, mature trees add 10% or more to a property's value!
Trees Are Our Future..... we all need trees to help clean the air, filter the water, prevent the soil from eroding and provide homes for countless species of wildlife!!
