Planting Trees to Help the Environment
What is the impact of planting trees? Quite a lot. Consider ...
"One tree can absorb more than a ton of carbon over its lifetime."

Impact of Planting Trees
Soil: "Over the course of 50 years, a single tree can control $31,500 of soil erosion"
Air Pollution: "Once acre of trees removes up to 2.6 tons of Carbon Dioxide each year"
Water: "Trees improve water quality by slowing and filtering rain water as well as protecting aquifers and watersheds"
Oxygen: "Two mature trees can provide enough oxygen for a family of four. One tree produces nearly 260 pounds of oxygen a year"
