The Trees are Watching Us

Trees have been around longer than any other organism on earth. The refresh our atmosphere and provide us with the oxygen we need to survive. Trees are extremely important to our survival, but at times we seem to forget about them and not treat them so well.

It is important to remember that trees are always watching... and that we need them.

On average, one tree produces nearly 260 pounds of oxygen each year. Two mature trees can provide enough oxygen for a family of four. That same acre of trees also produces enough oxygen for 18 people to breathe for a year.
