trees make our world more sustainable

burning trees

microwaved polaroids
400+ tonnes carbon per hectare, that's how much a young wood with mixed native species can lock up in trees, roots and soil.
first tree

trees improve the soil: mature trees help improve water quality and enrich the soil with nutrients.
second tree

trees support wildlife: trees are of great benefit to the local ecosystem because they provide habitat, food and shelter not only for smaller plants but also for animals.
third tree
microwaved polaroids
trees cool and give shade: the placement of trees in urban areas can cool the air between 2 and 8 degrees celsius.
fourth tree
microwaved polaroids
trees purify air: trees absorb pollutant gases such as nitrogen oxides, ozone, ammonia, sulfur dioxide. they also absorb odors and act as a filter as little particulates get trapped in leaves. a mature acre of trees can yearly provide oxygen for 18 people.
