We need trees

So, my love of trees is two-fold.

1. God created trees to be the lungs of the world, we need them for life on this planet.
2. The writers of the scriptures regularly use trees as a metaphor represent the life of God in the Bible.

So here is an article from National Geographic, which contains a video that is just astounding:

The Earth has Lungs Watch them Breathe

First you see NASA's video showing carbon dioxide emissions, from various Western countries, swirling in the air.

But the moment June hits...

"That’s the month when trillions upon trillions of leaves are opening, growing, and starting to breathe, and what you will see in the video is their collective breath literally cleaning the sky. This video begins in January, but keep watching till we hit June (then July, then August). It’s like the world’s northern forests become a giant vacuum cleaner, scouring the air, sucking down the CO2 till around November."
