20% of global warming is due to deforestation. Along with the many ecological benefits and resources trees provide, they also sequester carbon dioxide (CO2), the primary greenhouse gas, from the atmosphere and help reduce global warming, while they produce oxygen.
While CO2 levels are on the rise from industry and other sources--adding to the effect of global warming-- the
forests of the world are being removed faster than they are being replaced, and their ability to absorb CO2 is being diminished.
Individual and corporate donations are making possible the sustainable planting of millions of trees. The good news is that trees are a renewable resource. You can help make a difference! |
