How Does Planting Trees Help the Environment?

Tree planting is one of the most important things we can do to help sustain our planet, which is why over the next 10 years, Shaklee is committed to planting 10 million trees. But how exactly does tree planting help the environment? Here’s how much impact planting trees can have.

  • Trees clean the air. Not only do trees produce oxygen but they also absorb carbon dioxide and other harmful greenhouse gases.
  • Trees help prevent natural disasters. The roots of trees capture rainwater that might otherwise cause floods or landslides.
  • Trees provide a home for wildlife. Many species rely on trees for shelter and food.
  • Trees help reduce stress. Taking in nature often gives you a great psychological boost. So just the sight of trees can have loads of benefits like stress and anxiety reduction.
  • Trees help cool the climate. Trees evaporate water into the air, helping to increase cloud cover and keep temperatures cooler.
  • Trees reduce noise pollution. For more urban areas, trees can help cut down noise by creating a natural sound barrier with dense branches and leaves.
  • Trees have many home benefits. Planting a tree in your own backyard can provide shade for your house and keep it cool so you can cut back on air-conditioning usage. Not only does a tree save you money, it may even increase the value of your property.
  • Trees make our Earth more beautiful. There’s no doubt that trees make a scene! Whether you are watching the seasons change in the leaves or just enjoying a natural canopy, trees make the difference.
