Tree Hugs
If we cut one tree, then let’s plant two new trees in our space.
Some points to ponder on PLANTING | GROWING | SAVING trees:
Trees reduce air conditioning needs by 30%
A mature tree removes 70 times more pollution than a newly planted tree
A single tree produces 260 pounds of oxygen per year
All above numbers are approximate
Typically the Forest Department provides free trees
Cheap trick to water a young tree – Watch the video
Protect the young tree – This concept can be applied – Watch the video
Trees properly placed around buildings can reduce air conditioning needs by 30%
A mature tree removes almost 70 times more pollution than a newly planted tree
A single tree produces approximately 260 pounds of oxygen per year. That means two mature trees can supply enough oxygen annually to support a family of four
One tree can absorb as much carbon in a year as a car produces while driving 26,000 miles
Over the course its life, a single tree can absorb one ton of carbon dioxide
