Advocate For Clean Air

Trees provide many benefits to a community. They create the oxygen we breathe, reduce air and water pollution, reduce storm water runoff, provide shade, reduce energy costs, reduce the urban heat island effect, and act as wind breaks, sound barriers, and visual screens. A single tree stores 13 pounds of carbon a year. They improve our quality of life in enormous ways. Follow this link for information on how to plant a tree and choosing the proper tree and site.
