Trees help reduce the effects of climate change
o Trees absorb carbon dioxide (CO2), removing and storing the carbon while releasing the oxygen back into the air.
o In one year, an acre of mature trees absorbs the amount of CO2 produced by a car driven 26,000 miles.
0 During one year, a mature tree will absorb more than 48 pounds of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and release oxygen in exchange.
o Nearly 20 pounds of carbon dioxide are produced from burning one gallon of non-ethanol gasoline.
