"Did you know that the air you breath comes from the trees that surround you".
By planting a tree you are helping to prevent global warming, improving air quality, conserving water, and harbouring wildlife. The leafs of the tree absorb air pollution such as carbone monoxide, and sulfur dioxide.
It takes the average tree 20 - 30 years to reach full maturity, and trees can live as long as 200 - 300 years.
So plant your tree today so that your kids will benefit in the future. The larger the tree, the greater the cooling.
