We each owe the Earth 16 trees
I you want to put back into the atmosphere the oxygen you will breath in a lifetime, take out your spade and plant some trees.
You will also help offset the climate-changing carbon dioxide you pump into the air by urban living, each time you drive a car or switch on a light.
It takes 16 trees to supply the oxygen for one person’s life. So we each owe the Earth 16 trees.

Urban Forests Can Increase Real Estate Values
Property values increase 5-15% when compared to properties without trees (depends on species, maturity, quantity and location).

A more recent study in indicated that trees added $9,500, or more than 8 percent, to the average sale price of a residence in a suburb of Hamilton, Ontario.
