We Use Trees to Create Health, Wealth, and Happiness.
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.
