CFCs damage the ozone layer. Now imagine what thousands of trees could do. A tree that is well maintained from seedling to maturity will continue to filter pollution from the air for 20 to 60 years or more. Save money on air conditioning by planting trees around your home. Trees provide shade in summer and can reduce home air conditioning needs by 10 to 50 percent.
Trees can work as a natural barrier to noise, dust and smoke.
Plant a hedge or windbreak to reduce summer traffic noises and add visual beauty to your surroundings.
