Trees play an important role in combating climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and storing the carbon while releasing oxygen. They clean the air by absorbing pollutants and filtering particulate matter. Planting trees around homes can reduce energy consumption from air conditioning by up to 50% by providing shade and cooling effects. Trees also conserve water by slowing evaporation from lawns and increasing atmospheric moisture through transpiration.

- 3. TREES COMBAT THE CLIMATE CHANGE  Excess carbon dioxide (CO2) caused by many factors is a building up in our atmosphere and contributing to climate change.  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 you drive your car 26,000 miles.
- 5. Trees clean the air  Trees absorb odors and pollutant gases (nitrogen oxides, ammonia, sulfur dioxide and ozone) and filter particulates out of the air by trapping them on their leaves and bark.
- 7. Trees conserve energy  Three trees placed strategically around a single-family home can cut summer air conditioning needs by up to 50 percent.  By reducing the energy demand for cooling our houses, we reduce carbon dioxide and other pollution emissions from power plants.
- 9. Trees save water  Shade from trees slows water evaporation from thirsty lawns. Most newly planted trees need only fifteen gallons of water a week. As trees transpire, they increase atmospheric moisture.
