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 runoff 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

3. There is less flooding thanks to trees.
4. You pay less for air conditioning if you plant trees.
