Today is Love a Tree Day and we want to share our appreciation for trees.
Every year on May 16th, there’s a special celebration around “National Love a Tree Day”. Besides being a beautiful decoration for the Earth, trees have an array of benefits for our environment. The single most significant benefit being—they help combat climate change. Trees absorb CO2, which removes and stores carbon while releasing oxygen into the air. While doing this, the trees act as a “filter” that absorbs toxins out of the air, filters them, and releases clean oxygen in place of the toxins absorbed. In just one year, one acre of trees can absorb the equivalent of CO2 released after driving a car 26,000 miles.
