Did you know!!!
- Trees Produce Oxygen, A mature leafy tree produces as much oxygen in a season as 10 people inhale in a year.
- Trees Clean the Soil, The term phytoremediation is a fancy word for the absorption of dangerous chemicals and other pollutants that have entered the soil.
- Trees Slow Storm Water Runoff, Flash flooding can be dramatically reduced by a forest or by planting trees. Trees help intercept gallons of water.
- Trees Are Carbon Sinks, To produce its food, a tree absorbs and locks away carbon dioxide in the wood, roots and leaves.This locking-up process "stores" carbon as wood and not as an available "greenhouse" gas.
- Trees Clean the Air, Trees remove this air pollution, airborne particles, and carbon monoxide by lowering air temperature, through respiration, and by retaining particulates.
