Trees, The life is green

Trees:
We all know the trees, Trees are an important component for it’s provision of a weather-sheltered ecosystem in and under their foliage, also play an important role in producing oxygen and reducing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, as well as moderating ground temperatures. Wood from trees is a building material, as well as a primary energy source in many developing countries.
