How exactly do trees extract CO2 from the atmosphere? And in general, how do they fight climate change?
#TeamTrees We know that one way to combat climate change is by planting trees. But why? Let's explore the mechanism by which trees fight climate change!
#TeamTrees wants to raise $20,000,000 for the Arbor Day Foundation so that they can plant 20,000,000 trees! Donate here:
