Why do we plant trees?

Question

Well- lets see. When it comes to environmental issues, the tree huggers and the greens say, "Plant some trees!" why trees? Why not roses, some various climbers, cacti ?!! (due to water restrictions/water issues in my country cacti might be interesting...) or even some native plants? So, why generalize it all and say, "Plant some trees!" Shouldn't we say, "Plant some greens!"?

Answer 1

it looks better on eh news on the mayor is planting trees rather than, roses or something. Its all the same but the primative people of the world look at trees different from any other form of plant. Why? I dont know

Answer 2

I agree with you.

"Plant some trees!"

It's just normal issues.

when come different situations, people will say different thing.

remember only say or talk, but no action (NATO= No Action, Talk Only)

But, remember, tree is part of greens to, so you can plant a tree, with a lot of grass and flower below it.

Isn't that great?

Trees are the lungs of the world, without them we may not be here as they keep the air clean.

Answer 6

I get what you're saying. A single tree definitely produces more oxygen than  \a small plant. But, you can plant lots of small plants in the shadow of a single tree. So the question is which produces more per acre or something like that which would make a nice experiment for someone. I'm sure people have asked this before.

I think the answer is that trees require a bigger commitment and progress is much easier to see. Plus, shrubs and bushes don't look as nice and its much easier to change your mind and mow them over.

Answer 7

Answer 8

Answer 9

By doing photosynthesis plants use carbon dioxide and produce oxygen, trees are bigger so do it way more.  But planting anything is good :)
