  • Forest planting is one of the most cost-effective ways of reducing CO2. To remove 1 pound of CO2, planting tree costs less than 1 cent, developing more energy efficient appliances costs about 2 1/2 cents, and developing more fuel-efficient cars costs about 10 cents
  • Well placed trees help cut energy costs and consumption by decreasing air conditioning costs 10-50% & reducing heating costs as much as 4-22%.
  • Trees are the longest living and largest living organisms on Earth.

Cool statistics on "Tree facts -".

Maybe you could show your sources or demonstrate the accuracy and forward the info to National Arbor Day Foundation who is the most likely org. in a position to make a difference with the public.
