Something to think about …. “Am I Worth Saving? …. What Say You?”!!

~~March 2, 2016~~ 

WORTH SAVING?

The atmosphere of the Earth has a different composition from that of other planets in part due to the biochemical reactions of Earth’s organisms.

Trees and plankton play a big role in this. You’ve probably heard that trees produce oxygen, but have you ever wondered how much oxygen that is? You’ll hear a range of numbers and ways of presenting them because the amount of oxygen produced by a tree depends on the species of tree, its age, its health, and also on the tree’s surroundings. According to the Arbor Day Foundation, “a mature leafy tree produces as much oxygen in a season as 10 people inhale in a year.”

Here are some other quoted figures regarding the amount of oxygen produced by a tree:

“A single mature tree can absorb carbon dioxide at a rate of 48 lbs/year and release enough oxygen back into the atmosphere to support 2 human beings.”

~McAliney, Mike. Arguments for Land Conservation~

Documentation and Information Sources for Land Resources Protection, Trust for Public Land, Sacramento, CA, December, 1993

“One acre of trees annually consumes the amount of carbon dioxide equivalent to that produced by driving an average car for 26,000 miles. That same acre of trees also produces enough oxygen for 18 people to breathe for a year.”

~~New York Times~~

“A 100-ft tree, 18″ diameter at its base, produces 6,000 pounds of oxygen.”

~Northwest Territories Forest Management~

Something to think about …. “Don’t cut the trees …. STAND FOR TREES”!!

~~August 27, 2015~~ 

TREES CAN HELP SAVE US

“Stand for Trees can be a game-changer by harnessing the power of crowd-funding to protect forests, the air we breathe, and the climate that sustains us.”

Actor Edward Norton, a U.N. goodwill ambassador for biodiversity

THE QUESTION IS WHETHER WE HAVE THE WIT (AND THE WILL) TO SAVE THEM

Forests are the lungs of the earth and our greatest ally in fighting climate change. They absorb carbon and turn atmospheric CO2, water and sunlight into wood while producing the oxygen we breathe. But instead of returning the favor, we cut them down. It’s estimated that roughly 15% of global annual greenhouse gas emissions today are the result of deforestation and forest degradation. That’s comparable to the total annual CO2 emissions of China, or the emissions of the entire global transportation sector — all the world’s planes, ships, trucks, and automobiles combined.

Protecting forests and restoring those that have been degraded are among the easiest options we have for slowing climate change. It doesn’t require any new technological breakthrough — it simply requires each of us to join in. We all impact climate change, but now we can each be part of a broader solution. Companies can stand with employees. Sports teams can stand with fans. And we can all stand with our friends and loved ones. We can each purchase Stand for Trees Certificates to help offset our own emissions, and share the news of our purchase on our favorite social media platforms.

In short, Stand For Trees represents nothing less than a global and grassroots intervention. Trees stand for us.

Now its time for all of us to Stand For Trees.
