Health
Trees make us healthy! Trees lower our incidents of asthma, stroke, heart attack, diabetes and heat illness. They're also linked to a reduction in violent crime.

Wealth
Trees build our wealth! Trees lower our air conditioning bills by half, increase the value of our homes and help our businesses earn more money.

Happiness
Trees make us happy! Trees lower our anxiety and depression while increasing ability to focus, our sense of belonging, and our feelings of happiness.
