Plant
You can help by planting a tree. One tree can have a big impact on your life. Not only can you add more to the environment, but help people out in the process. Trees can provide shade and in the hot summer months, help to reduce the cost of air conditioning by providing shade.
Don't Cut
Try to avoid removing trees unless absolutely necessary. When wanting to build a new addition to a house, such as a shed. Try to find an area that is open. One where trees are not present and would not have to be cut down.
