Eight Reasons to Plant Trees

[ssana168]

1.Trees Make Effective Sound Barriers

Trees muffle urban noise almost as effectively as stone walls. Trees, planted at strategic points in a neighborhood or around your house, can abate major noises from freeways and airports.

2.Trees Produce Oxygen

German Tree Plantation
Placodus/Germany

A mature leafy tree produces as much oxygen in a season as 10 people inhale in a year.

3.Trees Become Carbon Sinks

To produce its food, a tree absorbs and locks away carbon dioxide, a global warming suspect. An urban forest is a carbon storage area that can lock up as much carbon as it produces.

4.Trees Clean the Air

Seedling Bed
TreesRus/About Forestry

Trees help cleanse the air by intercepting airborne particles, reducing heat, and absorbing such pollutants as carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide. Trees remove this air pollution by lowering air temperature, through respiration, and by retaining particulates.

5.Trees Shade and Cool

Tree Shade
Steve Nix/About Forestry

Shade from trees reduces the need for air conditioning in summer. In winter, trees break the force of winter winds, lowering heating costs. Studies have shown that parts of cities without cooling shade from trees can literally be "heat islands," with temperatures as much as 12 degrees Fahrenheit higher than surrounding areas.

6.Trees Act as Windbreaks

Arborvitae, A Favorite Windbreak
Steve Nix/About.com

During windy and cold seasons, trees act as windbreaks. A windbreak can lower home heating bills up to 30%. A reduction in wind can also reduce the drying effect on other vegetation behind the windbreak.

7.Trees Fight Soil Erosion

Trees fight soil erosion, conserve rainwater, and reduce water runoff and sediment deposit after storms.

8.Trees Increase Property Values

Real estate values increase when trees beautify a property or neighborhood. Trees can increase the property value of your home by 15% or more.

we must plant as many trees as we can, so that our beloved country looks good.

Onlyfaith,
You are right. Last year i had planted four neem trees from the seeds. These four trees are now growing stronger. This year i just planted two new neem trees and these two are also from the seeds. Hope that everyone will do their best efforts to make green country.

I always take 2 or three trees and plant them....Today, I took "neem" and mulberry plants

Thanx sir.....I just love trees and lush green gardens.

[ssana168]

Thanks jaggi,
These are very nice pictures, i also like lush green gardens. I will taken pictures of my planted trees and share those to you.
In my knowledge, nothing in this world that can efficiently convert light energy into useful products except green leafs.
Furthermore light falls on the earth surface is converted into heat energy and helps in increasing temperature. This is the main cause of increase in earth temperature. (Energy can neither be created, nor be destroyed but it convert from one form to another form).
So it is our choice to convert light energy into useful product or heat....
