• It costs 38 Trillion dollars to create OXYGEN for 6 months for all Human beings on earth it means if we expend all money in the world we cannot create OXYGEN for 6 months only for all Human beings on earth. “TREES DO IT FOR FREE”
• Approximately 14 billion trees needed every year for 10 consecutive years to make up the disaster we have created by cutting down trees
• In one day a human being breathes oxygen equivalent to three cylinders. Each oxygen cylinder on an average costs Rs. 800/- without subsidy.
  So, in a day one person uses Oxygen worth Rs. 2,400/- and for a full year it is Rs. 8,76,000/- and, If we consider an average life span of 65 years; the costs of oxygen we use become a staggering sum of Rs. 600,00,000/- = Rs. 60 million All this oxygen is derived FREE of cost from the surrounding trees.
  
• Trees also release water vapour and microscopic nuclei needed for cloud formation. Clouds have a high albedo effect, reflecting the incident solar radiation back into space. Adding 20 million km of forest could create an additional 2% cloud coverage over the entire planet, countering current global warming.

• Trees filter our air and keep it fresh by absorbing carbon dioxide and producing oxygen.
• Tree roots stabilize the soil and prevent erosion.
• Trees improve water quality by slowing and filtering rain water as well as protect aquifers and watersheds.
• Trees are carbon sinks, accumulating carbon as they grow and acting as stable carbon stores upon maturity
• Three-quarters of the world’s people rely on wood as their main source of energy.
• Thousand of things are made from trees such as furniture, books, newspapers, houses, hockey sticks, guitars, pencils, fences, milk cartons, even nail polish and toothpaste.
• Trees lower air temperature and induce rainfall by evaporating water from their leaves.
• Trees provide food, shade and shelter to humans and wildlife.
• 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 act as sound barriers to reduce noise pollution.
• Trees play a major role in helping to conserve the intensity of the Earth’s magnetic field.
