First of all we need to think about ourselves. People's carbon footprint is steadily rising and there is no way to counter this especially with the decline in forest areas in the world. Help us help you to reduce this footprint by planting a life bearing tree.
Every person on average need a tree covered area of 25m X 25m to produce enough oxygen to breath. I know that this is not the only way that oxygen is produced on the planet but would it not be nice to know that you have a direct way to contribute to this need.
Another advantage that the trees will give you is the absorption of pollutants and contaminants out of the air. This means a cleaner environment that will result in a health benefit.
Trees also protect the environment against soil erosion, siltation and flooding. Soil erosion causes us to lose valuable agricultural soil to our dams and the sea. Siltation is when soil ends up in our Rivers and dams. This has an impact on flow rate of the river making it more easy to flood as well as reduce the capacity of the dams. As water moves quicker over terrain devoid of vegetation rivers tend to flood easier and more severely. So planting trees reduces the flow and therefore the thread of flooding.
Score of animals live in trees and the habitat that they provide. A single tree is good, clumps are better and forest is king. I think we all understand this point.
The beauty of trees cannot be debated. Between buildings as well as on their own trees can improve the look of the world around us.
It is important to protect trees for our children.

Trees are our breathing partners. You may not live in a forest, but you need trees in order to live. People and animals depend on trees and plants for oxygen. As you breathe in, your body uses oxygen. As you breathe out, it gives off carbon dioxide. Trees do just the opposite. They take in Carbon Dioxide and then release oxygen (which also helps clean the air).
Trees are also very important for us as a renewable resource. Trees are a natural resource that can be renewed -by the planting of trees -replacing the trees that are harvested for use by people. We depend on forest products for things like the wood we burn for heat and the wood we use to make houses and furniture. We use trees for the paper to make books and letters we write. Actually, there are more than 5,000 things made from trees. Trees give us baseball bats, shoe polish, and even tooth paste that comes from tree extracts.

Social Benefits
We like trees around us because they make life more pleasant. Most of us respond to the presence of trees beyond simply observing their beauty. We feel serene, peaceful, restful, and tranquil in a grove of trees. We are “at home” there. Hospital patients have been shown to recover from surgery more quickly when their hospital room offered a view of trees. The strong ties between people and trees are most evident in the resistance of community residents to removing trees to widen streets. Or we note the heroic efforts of individuals and organizations to save particularly large or historic trees in a community.
The stature, strength, and endurance of trees give them a cathedral-like quality. Because of their potential for long life, trees frequently are planted as living memorials. We often become personally attached to trees that we or those we love have planted.

If you are concerned about global warming and your carbon footprint, the most important step you can take is to reduce CO2 emissions. It is not possible to truly 'offset' carbon emissions or become carbon neutral simply by planting trees because:
Burning fossil fuels releases carbon that has been locked away for millions of years, creating a net increase of carbon in the atmosphere. This is creating a rise in the Earth's temperature which is leading to significant climatic change.
It can be years before a newly-planted tree will absorb significant amounts of CO2 - but the burning of fossil fuels releases CO2 into the atmosphere immediately, contributing to global warming.
There is also a risk that while 'carbon offsetting' has benefits, it could provide people with an excuse for maintaining a fossil-fuel intensive lifestyle.
So the best thing is to become carbon conscious. Do all you can to reduce your carbon emissions - and plant trees to reduce the impact of emissions that can't be avoided.
While widespread deforestation is releasing more CO2 into the atmosphere, planting trees instead absorbs CO2 - and it also encourages biodiversity and provides habitats for wildlife.
Trees also play an important role in sustainable living. They provide fuel that is virtually carbon-neutral, fruit and nuts for food, timber, shelter for smallholdings and farms and they help prevent soil erosion. There is no doubt that every single tree planted is of real benefit to the planet.

Trees are important, valuable and necessary for the existence of any living creature on earth. They are essential to life as we know it and are the ground troops on an environmental frontline.
Oxygen production, cleaning the soil, controlling noise pollution, slowing down storm water runoff, acting as carbon sinks, cleaning the air, providing shade and coolness, being windbreaks and fighting soil erosion can be considered as the first few reasons why trees are priceless.
