Trees

Trees fight climate change

The excess of carbon dioxide (CO2) caused by many factors is accumulating in our atmosphere and is contributing to climate change. Trees absorb CO2, removing and storing carbon while releasing oxygen into the air. In a year, one acre of adult trees will absorb the amount produced when you drive your car 26,000 miles.

Trees clean the air

Trees absorb odor and pollutant gases (oxides of nitrogen, ammonia, sulfur dioxide and ozone) and filter the pollutant particles from the air, trapping them in their leaves and bark.

Trees provide oxygen

In one year, one acre of adult trees can provide oxygen for 18 people.

Trees refresh the streets and the city

Average temperatures in Los Angeles have risen by 6 ° F in the past 50 years as tree cover has declined and the number of heat-absorbing roads and buildings has increased. Trees refresh the city to 10 ° F, shading our homes and streets, disrupting the "heat islands" and releasing steam into the air through their leaves.

Trees conserve energy

Three trees strategically placed around the home of a family can cut up to 50 percent the need to use air conditioning in the summer. By reducing the demand for energy to cool our homes, we reduce carbon dioxide and other polluting gases produced by power plants.

Trees save water

The shade of the trees diminishes the evaporation of the water of the thirsty lawns. Most recently planted trees need only fifteen gallons of water per week. As trees transpire, they increase atmospheric humidity.

Trees help prevent water pollution

Trees reduce water runoff by trapping rainwater and allowing it to flow through the trunk and land below the tree. This prevents rainwater from taking pollutants into the ocean. When they are placed organic mulcher, the trees act as a kind of sponge that naturally filters the water and uses it to feed the groundwater supply.

Trees help prevent soil erosion

On mountain slopes and slopes of rivers and streams, trees help to stop runoff and hold the ground in place.

Trees protect children from ultraviolet rays

Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the United States. Trees reduce exposure to UV-B by about 50 percent, thereby providing protection to children in schools and playgrounds, where they spend a lot of time outdoors.

Trees provide food

An apple tree can give up to 15-20 fanegas of fruit per year and can be planted in a very small urban lot. In addition to fruit for humans, trees provide food for birds and wildlife.

Trees heal

Studies have shown that patients who can see trees from their windows will heal faster and with fewer complications. Children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder show fewer symptoms when they have access to nature. Being between trees and nature improves concentration by reducing mental fatigue.

Trees reduce violence

Neighborhoods and homes that do not have plants or trees have been shown to have a higher incidence of violence inside and outside the home than greener neighborhoods. Trees and plants help reduce the level of fear.

Trees mark the seasons of the year

Is it winter, spring, summer or fall? Look at the trees.

Trees generate economic opportunities

Fruit harvested from the community garden can be sold, providing income. Business opportunities are generated in the fields of green waste management and landscaping when cities value the use of mulch and their ability to save water. Vocational training for young people interested in green jobs is also an excellent way to develop economic opportunities through trees.

Trees are teachers and playmates

Whether homes are built for children or used as spiritual inspiration for adults, trees have provided space for humans to shelter forever.

Trees bring together diverse groups of people

Tree planting provides opportunities for community participation and empowerment, which improves the quality of life in our neighborhoods. People of all cultures, ages and genders play an important role in an event where trees are planted or cared for.

Trees increase unity

Trees can become recognized points of the community, giving the neighborhood a new identity and encouraging civic pride.

The trees provide their crowns and a habitat for wildlife

Sycamores and oaks are among the many urban species that provide excellent homes for birds, bees, opossums and squirrels.

Trees Block Things

Trees can hide concrete walls or lots of parking and unpleasant views. They cover the sound of nearby streets and motorways and create a pleasant green deck. Trees absorb dust and wind and reduce glare.

Trees provide wood

In suburban and rural areas, trees can be harvested selectively to obtain fuel and wood.

Trees increase property value

The beauty of well-planted trees on a property, its surrounding street and neighborhood can increase its value by up to 15 percent.

Trees increase commercial movement

Studies show that districts with more trees and landscaping enjoy a greater amount of commercial movement. Streets with trees also stop traffic enough so that drivers can see the stores instead of passing at full speed.

Poem

The grace of your green branch

Tree, good tree, that after the storm
You stood up in nakedness and discouragement,
On a large litter carpet
That extracts the indifferent wind

Today in its branch of the first
Green leaf, wet with dew,
As a gift of spring,
Good summer tree

And in that green point
What is writing in you there is no where
There is something that silently asks me
He silently answers me.

Yes, good tree; Already seen as truecas
The mud in bloom, and I know what you say to me;
I know that with your own dry leaves
Your roots have been nurtured again.

And so also one day,
This love that died quietly,
Reborn from my melancholy
In another love, equal and different.

Do not; Your augury laughing,
Your vegetable instinct is not wrong
I will dream in another pillow the same dream,
And I'll give the same kiss in another mouth.

And, in cordial resemblance,
Good tree, maybe I'll soon remember you,
When in my life a hope
Make it look a bit like your green leaf
