Did you know that planting trees can significantly reduce urban temperatures, making cities more livable? Trees provide shade and release moisture through a process called transpiration, cooling the air around them. In fact, a single mature tree can cool the surrounding area as effectively as ten air conditioners running for 20 hours! With urban areas expanding rapidly, integrating more green spaces is a simple yet powerful solution to combat heatwaves. Join a local tree-planting event, or even start one in your community. Every tree counts in our fight against climate change and for a healthier planet.
