::: Happy 40th Earth Day Anniversary :::


For all friends who care about our environment..... think about your actions and their affects, especially today. For today, a small tidbit about those things called trees.

  • One tree can absorb more than a ton of carbon dioxide
  • Over the course of 50 years, a single tree can control $31,500 of soil erosion.
  • Trees help maintain clean water supplies.
  • One tree produces nearly 260 pounds of oxygen a year.
My math says our trees will help produce 2,527,720 pounds of oxygen in the next year. Thanks to everyone reading for helping the world breath a little bit easier.
