The more we plant tree the cleaner our ozone layer becomes. The importance of trees in our world today is a greater need to us than ever before. Due to deforestation, natural disasters, etc. forests have been destroyed and therefore the number of carbon emission is greater than the number of oxygen being supplied. “A major consideration for rebalancing the global carbon cycle is to plant permanent vegetation to help extract carbon dioxide from the air and store it as wood fiber.” Planting Trees not only helps us to help keep the environment clean but it also allows us to admire the beauty that God has created for us. “It is not so much for its beauty that the forest makes a claim upon men's hearts, as for that subtle something, that quality of air that emanation from old trees, that so wonderfully changes...
