Here are some of the reasons that I am proud to be a supporter of planting trees and keeping our world clean.
1) Emotional Health – Being in nature improves your mental and emotional health. I want to protect the things that keep me happy.
2) Physical Health – Nature improves your physical health, too. Breathing in fresh air while going on a mountain hike will not only clear your head and body of pollutants and toxins, but it will boost your aerobic health and make you stronger.
3) Pollution Hurts Us – When the earth is dirty and polluted, we are essentially making ourselves sick too. Research has shown that we can develop cancer, asthma, heart disease, and other chronic diseases from pollution.
5) Resources – We rely on nature for resources, food, and shelter — without it, we’d have nothing. Learning to conserve and protect this is vital for our own survival.
