Power Plants
Did you know?...:
- A mature tree can take in and give off as
much as 500 gallons of water in a summer's day?
That's 8,000 glasses of water!
- A strategically planted mature tree can offset
a ton of CO2 over its lifetime--and prevent
6 times as much from entering the atmosphere,
because it reduces the amount of energy needed
to run air conditioners.
- The evaporation from one large tree produces
the same cool feelings as 10 air-conditioners
running 20 hours a day!
