Looking for a way to give a little back to nature? Plant a tree. It’s no coincidence that the tree is such a ubiquitous symbol in environmental imagery; trees are, well, quite simply, very good for the planet.

Plant a tree for climate change. Trees are one of the planet’s strongest natural defenses against carbon accumulation and greenhouse gases. Not only do trees provide much-needed oxygen, but they also actually use the carbon we create. Trees, like all plant matter, absorb carbon dioxide through photosynthesis and store it through a process called carbon sequestration. All plants—indeed, all living organisms—store carbon, but trees, due primarily to their size, are among the most effective.You can find the entire article here http://www.aboutmyplanet.com/daily-g...s/plant-a-tree
