In the first place, the world's population is growing and with logic, it should be understood that the oxygen demand also is increasing with the population growth. Trees help to reduce the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere Trees or plants use CO2 in photosynthesis and this process reduces the amount of carbon dioxide present in the earth's atmosphere. This occurrence is very important because CO2 is a greenhouse gas and its too much presence traps the hea
