Nothing on earth is more majestic than a tall, spreading tree. Trees are our friends in our fight
for a healthier planet. This is how they help us. First, trees are the Earth's lungs. They
remove pollutants from the air and significantly improve air quality. Research shows that with
billions of trees, we could remove two-thirds of all the carbon dioxide created by human
activities. Second, trees reduce the run off of rainwater, so they can reduce flooding .
Moreover, if you enjoy sitting in the shade of a tree in the summer, you know that trees can
also lower air temperatures too. Trees growing beside a home can cool the roof and the air
around the house. Therefore, it reduces air conditioning costs. And don't forget that trees
create habitats for many species of plants and animals. If you want to plant trees to help save
the planet, there are simple ways to get started. Plant trees around your house. If enough
people did that, it would make a big difference.
