1. Plant a Tree
Trees help clean the air we breathe by absorbing harmful pollutants and releasing clean oxygen. Their intricate root system filters the water we drink by removing pollutants. Trees also capture rainwater and reduce the risk of natural disasters like floods and landslides. Trees help cool the planet by sucking in and storing harmful greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide, and can reduce the overall temperature of the earth. And last, but certainly not least, a single tree can be home to hundreds of species of insect, fungi, moss, mammals, and plants. We can’t imagine you’d need any more reasons to plant a tree, but if you do, you should check out One Tree Planted, because they’re kinda good at this stuff: They planted over 4 MILLION trees in 2019! (The most we’ve managed so far is 1,200 in a day… Not a bad start!)
