Wanna Save the World? Make Sure You Plant the Right Tree..

Problems like global warming are so overwhelming that most citizens feel there's nothing they can do to help. That's wrong.
If you want to help, scientists across the country are saying these days, plant a tree. Better yet, work with your city to improve its urban forest.
But here's the hard part. We've all known for years that trees are good for the environment, soaking up air pollutants and greenhouse gases, and a little shade in the middle of what scientists are calling urban heat islands can't hurt. However, not all trees are the same. They all help to clear the air, in varying degrees, but many also contribute to air pollution by emitting volatile organic compounds, such as isoprene, which help form ozone, a health hazard. LETS PLANT... LETS SAVE OUR WORLD
What you sow is what you reap and many times over
