A tree has so many benefits, not just capturing CO2 and de-pollution. They're natural air conditoners, maintain temperature, maintain water, they help the soil, help smaller plants nearby, help a whole ecosystem, let alone fruits that are literally super food (minerals, vitamins, fibers, ..), above all when it's local (producers exporting fruits obviously pick them too early in their maturation)

- cesarb 5y ago> A tree has so many benefits, not just capturing CO2 and de-pollution. Indeed. I've heard on the news that one of the reasons for the current drought here in Brazil is the loss of the forests which carried humidity from the Amazon towards the south, where many important basins are located. Since most of the electric power here in Brazil comes from hydroelectric dams, and most of them are in rivers coming from these basins, this drought leads to an increase in the use of thermal generation, which means an increase on the CO2 output.
