 What Are Trees Worth to Cities? - Forest Service research shows that USA cities are losing trees at a rate of approximately four million per year. But cities NEED trees, being that they remove carbon dioxide, filter air pollution, and produce oxygen. They absorb rainwater, UV radiation, and noise. They slow down traffic, improve property values, and reduce human stress and mental fatigue. And they provide shade, which means reduced air-conditioning costs. If you can only plant one tree, plant it in a city. For more info: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-04-21/u-s-forest-service-i-tree-developer-david-nowak-calculates-value-of-urban-trees
