A tree planted today can absorb a ton (2000 pounds) or more of carbon dioxide (CO2) in it's lifetime. That's the weight of a small car! All from a teeny tiny seed such as an acorn,
a
maple seed
or a little seedling!
if you planted a tree today...
| During a 50-year life span, one tree will generate $30,000 in oxygen, recycle $35,000 worth of water, and clean up $60,000 worth of air pollution or $125,000 total per tree without including any other values! | |

| Anything you do that uses energy is likely
to result in C02 being released into the air. An idea that's catching on is
for people and corporations to offset the CO2 emissions they are responsible
for by planting trees. Even celebrities are doing it! People can either
plant trees themselves or contribute money to groups that are set up to
plant trees for people. For instance, you can have trees planted in the same
forest as
Leonardo DiCaprio or in
the Atomic Kitten Forest.
