 Nothing on earth is more majestic than a tall, spreading tree. Trees are 
 our friends in our fight for a healthier planet. This is how they help us. 
 First, trees are the Earth’s lungs. They remove pollutants from the air and 
 significantly improve air quality. Research shows that with billions of 
 trees, we could remove two-thirds of all the carbon dioxide created by 
 human activities. Second, trees reduce the run off of rainwater, so they 
can reduce flooding. Moreover, if you enjoy sitting in the shade of a tree in the summer, you know that trees 
can also lower air temperatures too. Trees growing beside a home can cool the root and the air around the 
house. Therefore, it reduces air conditioning costs. And don’t forget that trees create habitats for many 
species of plants and animals. If you want to plant trees to help save the planet, there are simple ways to get 
started. Plant trees around your house. If enough people did that, it would make a big difference.
