How Trees Fight/save Global Warming? Whether you plant trees around your home and property, in your community, or in our national forests, they help fight global warming. Through the natural process of photosynthesis, trees absorb CO2 and other pollutant particulates, then store the carbon and emit pure oxygen. See how planting trees helps fight global warming. -At Your Home—Planting the right trees around your home saves energy. -In Your Community—Greener communities are cooler communities -On your Rural Property—See several examples from Arbor Day Farm. -In Our National Forests—Trees absorb carbon dioxide and store carbon. WHO CAN PLANT TREES?GARDENERS? NO! everyone can plant trees!Everyone Can Plant a Tree and Help Fight Global Warming You can: -Plant trees in your yard and around your home. They'll provide shade to cool your home in summer and windbreaks to reduce cold winds in winter—reducing your energy needs. -Plant trees in your community—in parks, around schools, and in urban areas. Trees help shade buildings and pavement, reducing the heat-island effect and conserving energy -Plant trees on your farm or rural property.

Planting trees is a simple thing everyone can do to reduce carbon dioxide, a principal greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming. No matter where you live, you can plant trees...and take a proactive, positive step toward keeping our planet healthy. What Else Can You do to Reduce Global Warming? Planting trees is not the only answer to global warming. Globally, society mustn't continue to draw fuels out of the Earth and pump carbon dioxide into our atmosphere, unchecked. Planting trees certainly helps reduce carbon dioxide. Here are just a few other things you can do. -Drive less. Walk, bike, carpool or take mass transit more often. You'll save one pound of carbon dioxide for every mile you don't drive. -Recycle more. You can save 2,400 pounds of carbon dioxide per year by recycling just half of your household waste. -Check your tires. Keeping your tires inflated properly can improve gas mileage by more than 3%. Every gallon of gasoline saved keeps 20 pounds of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. -Turn off electronic devices. Simply turning off your television, stereo, or DVD player when you are not using them can save thousands of pounds of CO2 a year. -Keep your car tuned up. Regular maintenance helps improve fuel efficiency and reduces emissions. WE HAVE DONE OUR PART TO SAVE THE MOTHER EARTH,WHAT ABOUT YOU? DON'T WAIT UNTIL ITS TOO LATE!
