LOVE A TREE

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.

Save Tree, Save Planet

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.
