On The Environment This is the second part of a contribution by Mr. Dean Kelly on why we should try to stop the destruction of trees. Swiss experiments have shown that trees reduce lead pollution - even in the winter. One large tree will draw as much as 1,000 litres of water a day and evaporate it through its leaves, into the atmosphere. A tree has the ability to ab- sorb six to eight decibels of sound. Don't you want to recycle paper and save trees - millions each year could be recovered. It has been estimated that the value of a 50 year old tree is several hundred thousand. $31,250 for oxygen production, $62,500 for air pollution control, erosion and soil fertility $31,250, for a total of $196,250 including water recycling, hu- midity control, and animal and bird shelter. Of course all of these figures are approximations. In actu-- al market value, a mature tree is worth far less, but it is still a valuable asset when trying to sell a lot. A real estate broker and appraiser in London, Ontario has stated that the right kin J of tree can add five to ten thousand dollars to the selling price of land. In North York, people who chop down trees without express approval from the municipality can be fined $2,000. With 50 acres of trees falling every minute (28 million acres a year are cleared from crops or fuel, 11 million each year are used commercially), even the vast resources of the tropical rainforest are dwindling dramatically. The next gener- ation, growing up in a world short of trees, will face increased pollution problems, the difficulties of higher carbon dioxide lev- els which contribute to the Greenhouse Effect, and scarcities of food. Taking some preventative measures today, whether it is only to plant a few trees in your yard this fall, will help soften the problems of the future. Trees produce oxygen, absorb carbon dioxide and other pollution, retain water, provide shelter and shade. They even look good, especially in the autumn. Do your part for the fight against pollution - plant a tree today, and breath easier. Sionemogy * A* * * %* 399 Queen St. % Of . (4 are Genter?
