Trees increases the beauty of earth!♥
☼Trees combat the greenhouse effect
Global warming is the result of excess greenhouse gases, created bởi burning fossil fuels and destroying tropical rainforests. Heat from the sun, reflected back from the earth, is trapped in this thickening layer of gases, causing global temperatures to rise. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a major greenhouse gas. Trees absorb CO2, removing and storing the carbon while releasing the oxygen back into the air. In one year, an acre of mature trees absorbs the amount of CO2 produced when bạn drive your car 26,000 miles.☼

♥Trees create economic opportunities♥
trái cây harvested from community orchards can be sold, thus providing income.
