HAPPY ARBOR DAY!

TREE DAY or ARBOR DAY is a national holiday dedicated to the planting, care and conservation of trees. It is celebrated in many countries around the world. In our school we will celebrate it next Friday, 15th April.

Why Celebrate Trees?

~ Trees absorb pollution from the air ~

~ Trees make oxygen, which we need to breathe. ~

~ Trees stop soil erosion, prevent floods, and filter water ~

~ Trees create food and provide protection from the wind ~

~ Trees furnish home, shelter and food for birds and other wildlife ~

~ Fallen tree leaves eventually turn into soil, for other plants to grow in ~

~ Trees supply shade to keep our houses, schools and cities cooler ~

~ Shaded buildings need less energy for air conditioning. ~

~ Trees reduce noise pollution. ~

Trees provide: nuts, fruit, wood, paper, syrup, cork, soap, paint, film, polish, lotions, medicine, dyes, pencils, crayons, toothpaste, perfume, ~ and 5,000 other products ~
