planting trees
planting trees is like one of the traditional earth day custom type things. but why do we plant trees?? we plant trees because they absorb carbon dioxide, and give out oxygen, which we can breathe. trees can absorb 700-7000 pounds of carbon dioxide in their lifetime. also, if a tree is above your house it can give off shade and stop you from turning on the air conditioner, saving energy. on another website (not on the list) i read that trees also filter polution from the air, recycle water, and prevent soil loss. planting trees also helps prevent global warming. also, i saw a t.v show once, that said the earth has lost many forests due to mankind, hurricanes, and so forth. i also saw that they were trying to replant a forest with seeds in canesters of some sort dropped from the air instead of manual labor. that particular forest was destroyed by a hurricane, and was a mangrove forsest. (BTW mangrove trees really help stop global warming & take lots of carbon dioxide in and produce lots of oxygen) i hope you liked my post!! :D
