My tall, beautiful tree.

My tree has changed so much since the last time I saw it. The entire tree is filled with dark, green leaves. The bark on my tree has changed color and looks thicker and healthier. There are dandelions surrounding my tree,because the wind has been blowing little seeds have planted themselves by my tree. The grass around my tree is bright green and growing a lot. I also noticed how tall the grass has grown from looking at the edges of the stream. Also, There are very few dead leaves on the ground since the wind is taking them elsewhere. The sun is shining and there are few clouds covering the bright, blue sky. There was also lots of bird activity.My site has changed so much in each season. Just another beautiful day outside.Because trees are so prudent to the environment as a primary consumer I wanted to share some facts I found on the web. 1)A single tree produces approximately 260 pounds of oxygen per year. That means two mature trees can supply enough oxygen annually to support a family of four! 2)The shade and wind buffering provided by trees reduces annual heating and cooling costs by 2.1 billion dollars. 3)Trees properly placed around buildings can reduce air conditioning needs by 30% A single tree produces approximately 260 pounds of oxygen per year. That means two mature trees can supply enough oxygen annually to support a family of four! 4)An average American uses about 750 pounds of paper every year, and 95% of homes are built using wood. That means each person uses the equivalent of one 100 foot tall, 16 inch diameter, tree every year for their paper and wood product needs. 5)The average tree in an urban/city area has a life expectancy of only 8 years. 6)The tallest tree in the country is a Coast Redwood growing in northern California's Redwood National Park. It is 369 feet tall and over 2000 years old!
