You probably know that trees are a crucial element to protecting our planet, but are you familiar with many of the benefits trees can provide in your own neighborhood? For example, by strategically placing three large, shading trees around your home, you could reduce air-conditioning demand by 30 percent. A study of one Southwest region's six million trees revealed that the trees remove and store approximately 304,000 tons of atmospheric carbon dioxide, 12,000 tons of ozone, and 9,000 tons of particulates. Planting trees can also have a positive impact on social and health aspects of life. There are many organizations around the world devoted to protecting our natural habitat and educating community members about the benefits of trees.
