Planting trees is crucial for many reasons. They absorb carbon dioxide, release oxygen, and regulate temperatures, helping combat climate change. Trees also improve air quality, conserve water, preserve biodiversity, and provide economic and social benefits. In short, tree planting is essential for environmental sustainability and human well-being.
