Why planting trees is great for the atmosphere

There is nothing in the world better than the feeling you get after planting a tree. You feel that you are useful to the planet and you are helping the scientists in the planet saving process.

Trees are very useful for maintaining the vital course of the life on our planet. They clean the air by absorbing from the atmosphere the dioxide gas (CO2) and turning it into oxygen (O2). Trees also maintain the humidity level on the ground and in the air. They do that because the tree's leafs have the feature of evaporating the water from them, and by this, they maintain a normal humidity level on the ground and in the air.

Trees are also very good heavy metal absorbers. Trees like the nut trees absorb from the atmosphere metals like Cadmium (Cd), Radium (Ra), Mercury (Hg) and others. There is no need for the scientist to spend big amount of money on developing some new ways of absorbing the heavy metals from the atmosphere. It would be better if they would spend that amount of money on planting trees.

Trees also absorb from the atmosphere harmful for health oxides and acids like SO4, SO2, NH3, NO2, HCL, H2SO4, HS and other. Trees are the only solution that the humanity has for absorbing the noxious oxides and acids from the atmosphere. These oxides and acids can be very dangerous for people, animals and plants. When it is raining in an area that is contaminated with noxious oxides and acids, then every human, animal or plant on whom had drop the rain is burned out by the noxious oxides and acids.

Planting trees is the best thing that humans can do in order to save the planet from the noxious gases, oxides and acids. That is why, we all need to plant as many trees as we can.
