Arbor Day is a day of observance for trees. On this day, people are encouraged to plant trees to help the environment. The trees that are planted clean the air and water we need to survive. They provide shade and habitat for wildlife. Trees clean air by converting the carbon dioxide (CO2) that humans and animals breathe out into the oxygen (O2) that we need to breathe and live. Clean water is something that humans and animals need to survive, and shade is necessary to cool us off. Trees provide a habitat for wildlife, such as birds and squirrels. By doing these things, trees also help to reverse climate change. By planting trees on Arbor Day or any other day, you can help the environment. Now stop reading this article and go plant a tree!
