1. They Produce Oxygen - Through Photosynthesis a mature tree can produce enough Oxygen for up to 10 people, we & many lifeforms need Oxygen to survive.
2. Absorb & Store Carbon Monoxide & Carbon Dioxide - Carbon monoxide a very poisonous gas & Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas which contributes to global warming, neither of these gases is good for us or the environment.

5. Reducing The Risk Of Floods - On average a mature broad leaf tree can soak up 50-100 gallons (227 - 454 litres) of water daily. This could help populated areas withstand flooding.
6. Creating Micro Climates - As trees release water vapour & provide shade, they have a cooling effect like a natural air-conditioner reducing temperatures in cities which are measured several degrees higher than non-urban areas.
