Benefits of Planting Native Trees
Problem----We are all personally responsible for releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels for transportation (driving and flying) and home energy (electricity, heating, and cooling). This leads to global warming, which is destroying Earth's biodiversity and native ecosystems.
1. Reduce your use of fossil fuels
2. Protect native forests as "carbon storehouses"
3. Help plant native trees in urban and deforested areas
1. They help stop global warming by reducing greenhouse gases
2. They reduce soil erosion and water pollution
3. They provide habitat for native wildlife (including songbirds)
4. They improve human health by producing oxygen and improving air quality
5. They reduce home energy needs by providing shade in summer and a windbreak in winter
1. Absorbs over a ton of harmful greenhouse gases over its lifetime (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency)
2. Produces enough oxygen for four people every day (Tree Canada Foundation)
3. Provides the equivalent cooling effect of ten room-size air conditioners operating 20 hours a day (U.S. Department of Agriculture)

SAVE TRESS
SAVE TREES. THEY ARE YOUR FOOD
SAVE TREES. THEY ARE YOUR CLOTHING
SAVE TREES. THEY GIVE YOU SHELTER
SAVE TREES. THEY GIVE YOU RAINFALL
SAVE TREES. THEY ARE PART OF YOU
POLLUTING THE EARTH IS LIKE POKING YOUR OWN EYES WITH YOUR OWN FINGERS.
DUMPING GARBAGE ON THE STREETS..? THAT IS ALSO IN THE SAME GALAXY WHERE U LIVE !! DO NOT POLLUTE!
CONCENTRATION OF POLLUTION DILUTES YOUR LIFE SPAN.
PLANT A SAPLING, ENSURE ONE DAY MORE IN YOUR LIFE
FOR EVERY TREE YOU FELL, PLANT THREE SAPLINGS.
DESTRUCTION IS EASIER THAN CONSTRUCTION. FROM THE TOP OF A TALL BUILDING THROW A POT FULL OF GOLD COINS, THEN TRY COLLECTING THEM ONE BY ONE. IT TOOK ONLY A FRACTION OF SECOND TO THROW IT, BUT HOURS TO COLLECT IT BACK.. STILL THE BROKEN POT NEVER COMES BACK.. THINK BEFORE YOU ACT..
