Trees play a vital role in the overall health of world. Deforestation wreaks havoc on our global climate by causing an increase in the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere. This is linked to everything from global warming to severe changes in rainfall patterns, even water levels. Planting new trees will help offset emissions because they store large amounts of carbon dioxide.

According to Trees Ontario, in one year, an acre of trees can absorb 2.6 tons of carbon dioxide – the same amount a car produces driving 26,000 miles.

Trees and forests also provide habitat for most of the world’s animal species. Although tropical forests only occupy roughly 7% of the earth’s dry surface, NASA estimates that they hold more than 50% of the world’s animal and plant species. Unfortunately, many face extinction from a loss of habitat.

Through 10 Million Trees, Four Seasons hopes to raise awareness, education, conservation and preservation efforts for trees.
