David Attenborough •
The felling of a tree
It is a question that must be carefully considered, both to build a
road, a house, and because leaves dirty the roof and block the sewers.
A tree: Absorbs “problematic” CO2 to produce “vital” O2 and stores
carbon C, fills the blades of earth with its vertical roots serving as
a guide, reflects and absorbs part of solar radiation, maintains local
freshness and contributes to the formation of clouds with the
phenomenon of vaporization.
It produces leaves: food for the earth and for you, the horizontal
roots serve to recover nutrients, it gives sugar to the mycelium in
exchange for nutrients it absorbs dust and polluting gases, it
provides habitat and food for birds, insects and rodents, it can serve
as a sound barrier and visual…
In short, in addition to capturing CO2 a tree produces: fresh!
Waterfall! Oxygen! The only technology that can save us!
Plant trees, plant.
