* Trees keep our air supply fresh by absorbing carbon dioxide and producing oxygen.
* In one year, an acre of trees can absorb as much carbon as is produced by a car driven up to 8700 miles. * Trees provide shade and shelter, reducing yearly heating and cooling costs by 2.1 billion dollars. * Trees lower air temperature by evaporating water in their leaves. * The average tree in metropolitan area survives only about 8 years! * A tree does not reach its most productive stage of carbon storage for about 10 years. * Trees cut down noise pollution by acting as sound barriers. * Tree roots stabilize the soil and prevent erosion. * Trees improve water quality by slowing and filtering rain water as well as protecting aquifers and watersheds. * Trees provide protection from downward fall of rain, sleet, and hail as well as reduce storm run-off and the possibility of flooding, * Trees provide food and shelter for wildlife. * Trees located along streets act as a glare and reflection control. * The death of one 70-year old tree would return over three tons of carbon to the atmosphere.
