TREES & CLEAN AIR

Every tree is a climate helper! A single mature tree can absorb 48 pounds of carbon dioxide per year and release oxygen for us to breathe. Trees are amazing!
​

In places like Brooklyn, city trees: 

• Cool the air by providing shade on hot days.
• Reduce pollution and improve air quality.
• Provide homes and food for birds, insects, squirrels, chipmunks, and more.

Count the trees on your block! How many are there? Which are the biggest? Which provide the most shade? Which one is your favorite?
