Earth Day, Every Day - Tip # 10 - Plant A Tree

We've all learned how trees conserve water, harbor wildlife and moderate climate. Trees also absorb air pollutants such as OZONE, CARBON MONOXIDE, and SULPHUR DIOXIDE -- and give off OXYGEN, which improves air quality.

Yet realistically, many people do not have the outdoor space to plant a mighty oak or a majestic maple, so plant what you can, where you can... forsythias by the road, a pine in the back yard, even a small plant in a pretty pot on a sunny windowsill.

You can also have a tree planted through the Arbor Day Foundation or through American Forests for a nominal charge of $1 per tree. Consider planting a tree in honor of a loved ones birthday or anniversary. It's a special gift that just may change the world.
