Coming to the point of a good tree.

Good trees carry good quality of fruits , and not the bad ones.

1. Good trees help to combat bad quality air. In the air , it has been found that a large quantity of carbon di oxide is present , hence contributing to climate change . Trees absorb the carbon di oxide gas in themselves, removes , stores it and releases oxygen back into the air.

Eg : In a year , one acre of trees absorbs a similar amount of carbon-di-oxide produced while driving a car for around 26,000 miles.

2. Good trees help in preventing soil erosion. Often landslides occur due to the lose grip of the soil . But the presence of good trees in hilly areas help in slow runoff , and holding the soil in place .

3. Good trees helps in cooling the streets and city . It absorbs the heat from air , thus leaving the atmosphere cool by nature. It relieves people from heat . The tree releases water vapour into the air , through their leaves .

Eg : The temperature in Los Angeles had risen upto 6 degree fahrenheight. It was due to decline of trees in total . But now , due to presence of trees it cools the city upto 10 degrees fahrenheight.

Hence , trees should be plsnted every year . As this brings good to the nature.
