energy tip
Don't stand with the door open in winter. Consider building closed-in entry rooms/foyers that trap heat and cold between two doors instead of letting it into the house. |

Trees are an integral component of all life systems on earth, as they help to regulate the composition of earth's atmosphere by absorbing and sequestering carbon dioxide. Global warming patterns are mostly caused by the combustion of fossil fuels, yet scientists have confirmed that deforestation plays a crucial role as well, due to the sheer loss of biomass, which once absorbed carbon from the atmosphere. In order to offset carbon emissions and restore the health of our state’s forests, Trees for Tennessee facilitates land restoration and tree planting projects across the state.
Trees for Tennessee has the following three goals: Land and Resource Protection, Education, and Consumer Advocacy—with current emphasis on Land and Resource Protection. Trees are an integral component of all life systems on earth, as they help to regulate the composition of earth's atmosphere by absorbing and sequestering carbon dioxide. Global warming patterns are mostly caused by the combustion of fossil fuels, yet scientists have confirmed that deforestation plays a crucial role as well, due to the sheer loss of biomass, which once absorbed carbon from the atmosphere.
Trees for Tennessee acts to counter the effect of forest depletion and resulting climate change through restorative tree planting projects throughout Middle Tennessee. While solely planting trees will not halt global warming, it will help to rebalance self-regulating earth systems, which have been so greatly impacted by modern culture’s excesses.
