The Power of Planting Trees

 

 

Trees are more than just greenery — they are life-support systems. They clean the air, provide oxygen, and act as homes for countless species.

 

 

Why it matters:

 

 

  • One tree absorbs up to 22 kg of carbon dioxide per year.
  • Trees reduce city heat, making summers cooler.
  • They prevent soil erosion and protect against floods.

 

 

 

How we can help:

 

 

  • Plant a sapling on birthdays instead of bursting crackers.
  • Adopt school or community garden projects.
  • Protect existing trees in your neighbourhood from being cut.

 

 

Fun fact: A mature tree can provide enough oxygen for 2 people for an entire year. 🌳💨
