Tip of the Week

 Plant a tree

Trees play an essential role in urban communitites. They mitigate climate change by removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. By providing shade and transpiring water, trees reduce the need to consume energy and help alleviate the urban heat island effect. Trees reduce stormwater runoff that pollutes rivers, provide food and shelter for birds and small animals, and improve the air quality in cities.

Help to increase the tree canopy in your city by planting a tree in your neighborhood. Organizations such as Washington DC's Casey Trees can provide resources about urban forestry and the benefits of planting trees.
