THE IMPORTANCE OF PLANTING TREES!

The importance of planting trees is to give the world clean, purified oxygen. I think that if people are going to cut down trees, they should at least plant more to make up for the trees they have taken from nature. I have tried to plant a tree that I got from the fourth grade, but I put it outside to get some sun but I forgot it was outside, So it died. It was very saddening. I have also tried to convince my family to reduce waste and recycle. But we have six people in our house, So it can be very frustrating. The longest lasting tree protectors are the American Forests. They receive funds from donations of individuals and donations from corporations.

5 facts aboutTrees give off clean oxygen to the universe

One tree gives off almost 260 pounds of oxygen every year, so if you have a family of 4 and have 2 full grown trees in your yard, those trees alone give enough oxygen for a year.Trees such as ones in Dallas only live for about 8 years.Close to one third of the U.S. has woodlands (forests).

During it’s life one tree can take in 1 ton of carbon dioxide.
