2. Facts about trees Trees filter our air and keep it fresh by absorbing carbon dioxide and producing oxygen Trees offer protection from the downward fall of rain, sleet and hail as well as reduce storm run-off and the possibility of flooding Trees provide food, shade and shelter to humans and wildlife Three-quarters of the world's people rely on wood as their main source of energy Trees are carbon sinks, accumulating carbon as they grow and acting as stable carbon stores upon maturity Trees improve water quality by slowing and filtering rain water as well as protect aquifers and watersheds Deforestation is contributing almost 20% to the overall greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere, more than the world’s vehicles and aircrafts combined
