Fellow Steemian.
We are back again, today it's going to be an analysis about nature, trees to be precise.
It was a sunny day on my Campus in the month of May, it was about 12:30pm when the sun is up in the sky blazing hot, I walk past this beautiful creature,nature as it were. I didn't waste a second before I swipe my phone and whisk to the camera to this eye catching, heart melting, blooming tree right in front of me. It was really a site to behold, I took the snapshots and it's still one of the most beautiful things I snap with my phone, I still couldn't fathom the scientific phenomenal process that goes through this tree that I saw in March 2018 all green, what must have occur, I believe there is a reason for this change and I wish it stays like this for long. @runicar @slowwalker @cliffpower @onealfa

This picture was took some time in the summer of 2016, it has been in my folder for as long as I can remember, mere looking at the picture it is self explanatory, so much so we are propagating the "plant a tree today" mantra, It will help the ecosystem, the ozone layer no doubt as been tampered with one of the things to do to help the Environment is to plant a tree, it help animal, man as shade and also shield the world from danger of ozone layer destructions. @birdbanter @adsactly @amitsharma @ocd-resteem

BENEFITS OF TREES
TREES COMBAT CLIMATE CHANGE
Excess carbon dioxide (CO2) is building up in our atmosphere, contributing to climate change. Trees absorb CO2, removing and storing the carbon while releasing oxygen back into the air. In one year, an acre of mature trees absorbs the same amount of CO2 produced when you drive your car 26,000 miles.
TREES CLEAN THE AIR
Trees absorb odors and pollutant gases (nitrogen oxides, ammonia, sulfur dioxide and ozone) and filter particulates out of the air by trapping them on their leaves and bark.
TREES PROVIDE OXYGEN
In one year an acre of mature trees can provide enough oxygen for 18 people.
TREES COOL THE STREETS AND THE CITY
Average temperatures in Los Angeles have risen 6°F in the last 50 years as tree coverage has declined and the number of heat-absorbing roads and buildings has increased.
Trees cool the city by up to 10°F, by shading our homes and streets, breaking up urban “heat islands” and releasing water vapor into the air through their leaves.
TREES CONSERVE ENERGY
Three trees placed strategically around a single-family home can cut summer air conditioning needs by up to 50 percent. By reducing the energy demand for cooling our houses, we reduce carbon dioxide and other pollution emissions from power plants.
TREES SAVE WATER
Shade from trees slows water evaporation from thirsty lawns. Most newly planted trees need only fifteen gallons of water a week. As trees transpire, they increase atmospheric moisture.
TREES HELP PREVENT WATER POLLUTION
Trees reduce runoff by breaking rainfall thus allowing the water to flow down the trunk and into the earth below the tree. This prevents stormwater from carrying pollutants to the ocean. When mulched, trees act like a sponge that filters this water naturally and uses it to recharge groundwater supplies.
TREES HELP PREVENT SOIL EROSION
On hillsides or stream slopes, trees slow runoff and hold soil in place.
TREES SHIELD CHILDREN FROM ULTRA-VIOLET RAYS
Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States. Trees reduce UV-B exposure by about 50 percent, thus providing protection to children on school campuses and playgrounds - where children spend hours outdoors.
TREES PROVIDE FOOD
An apple tree can yield up to 15-20 bushels of fruit per year and can be planted on the tiniest urban lot. Aside from fruit for humans, trees provide food for birds and wildlife.

Keep it locked right here for exclusive, creative input from time to time. I am so happy sharing this, hope you guys love it.
Tag a Steemian who need to know about this or who doesn't know about this, lets keep learning new things every day, planting a tree is more or less the smallest gesture you can portray for a better and sustainable Environment.
Thank You
