I am always amazed at the generosity of trees. They give us nothing short of the fundamental necessities for life, like oxygen and clean water and food. The simbiotic relationship we humans and animals share with the trees on the Equator is nothing short of amazing. Trees give us what we most need. Through photosynthesis, trees 'inhale" the carbon dioxide that humans and animals and cars and factories and airplanes "exhale". Through the process of evotranspiration, trees transmute this greenhouse gas along with the rain into oxygen molecules and water vapor. Trees breathe with us, exchanging every breath we take for a new one. So basic and so seemingly simple.
Did you know that rainforest trees absorb much more carbon dioxide because they are growing near the Equator where they enjoy a full year round growing season. More trees growing long term on the Equator like Costa Rica where our community organization works equals more balanced global climate for all. It gives us all hope that we can truly make a difference and positive impact for a better world.
People like you who give trees are indeed a reflection of true generosity and hope too! With every breath we take, with every tree we care for, we send gratitude and well wishes for you in 2016! Thanks for being a part of our growing movement to save tropical rainforests by planting more biodiverse trees with fair paid communities and follow up care included. Feel the fresh breeze! The trees are sending warm oxygen and shading clouds your way! Enjoy!
