Hospital patients recover more quickly when their room has a view of trees.

Trees improve water quality by slowing and filtering rain water, as well as protecting aquifers and watersheds.

People shop longer along tree-lined streets.

In a year, one acre of trees absorb enough carbon monoxide to equal the amount you produce when you drive your car 26,000 miles.

Trees improve water quality by slowing and filtering rain water, as well as protecting aquifers and watersheds.

The amount of oxygen produced by an acre of trees per year equals the amount consumed by 18 people annually.

Trees planted around a home can reduce air conditioning usage by 30%.

Each year a tree will assimilate thirteen pounds of CO2.

Trees reach their most productive stage of carbon storage at about ten years.

Over a fifty-year lifetime, a tree generates $31,250 worth of oxygen, provides $62,000 worth of air pollution control, recycles $37,500 worth of water, and controls $31,250 worth of soil erosion.

If every family planted just one tree, the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere would be reduced by one billion pounds annually.
