BENEFITS OF TREES TO THE ENVIRONMENT

Trees has several benefits to the environment.First one is that trees combat climate change. They absorb C2O, removing and storing the carbon while releasing the oxygen back in to the air. Another one is that trees clean the air. For example, they absorb pollutant gases and odours and they filter particulates out of the air by trapping them on their leaves and bark. Next one is that trees save water. For example, they slows water evaporation from thirsty lawns and while they also transpire, they increase atmospheric moisture. So, they also help prevent water pollution. The other benefit is that trees provide food. When they are planted, they give us fruits, vegetables and we always take advantage of them. Also, they provide food and nest for animals. We can also say that trees reduce violance. For example, people who live in barren place can have fear such as walking alone because they can experience violence easily. So, trees and landscaping help to reduce the level of fear. We can mark the seasons with utilising from trees. Lastly, they are playmates and teacher for adults and childrens. Trees have provided the space for human retreat throughout the ages.
