Why Plant Trees? The world is getting hotter but especially our cities. Trees can reduce temperatures of a city by as much as 12degreesC, by providing cooling shade to people and buildings and through evapotranspiration.  As trees release water in to the atmosphere, the surrounding air is cooled  as the water transpires from liquid to vapour.  Trees also capture carbon and reduces air pollution which are driving climate change. Carbon dioxide emitted from our factories, our vehicles, our houses is captured by trees which use the carbon to grow and releases the oxygen into the atmosphere. Trees also help to reduce flooding because their roots stabilize the soil making the soil more porous so that the water runoff is not as heavy and damaging.
