The trees that surround us give life to our environment and although seeing them so often seems everyday and common to us, we must not forget that they are an essential resource for our stay on earth.
Trees are indispensable for us, especially in large cities where sometimes they are removed for various reasons and we do not take proper care of them. These are some of the important benefits that trees offer us within the city:
Energy saving: The effect on the environment of a single tree is the equivalent of ten air conditioning machines running about twenty hours a day. A tree does for the environment the work that ten machines would do in an apartment building.
Betting on the future: Planting a west facing tree in your home will help with invaluable energy savings for your home. Up to 15% energy can be saved in the following twelve years, because due to its orientation, you should not use air conditioning as much.
Reduces the level of pollution: Soil pollution is between 27% and 42% less in places where there is a significant group of trees, as opposed to an open, treeless area.
Increase the value of housing: If there were not a few ecological arguments to incentivize us to plant trees, it also offers us a real estate benefit. If we have trees on our property they can increase the value of a house between 10% and 23%.
