Trees not only supply us with many of the conveniences
of our daily life, they do much more than that. They
support the life of living things. They help to replace the
oxygen in the air constantly being used up and turned
into carbon-dioxide when animals breathe and things
burn. The green leaves of trees absorb the carbon-dioxide
from the air and with help of sunlight break it up into
carbon and oxygen. The carbon is used to make starch
and oxygen is released into the atmosphere. That is how
trees help to replace the oxygen in the atmosphere.
The green cells of leaves are wonderful little laboratories,
where all the starch is produced. Since starch forms an
important of the food of men and animals, their life
depends on the work done by the green cells of plants.
Thus trees are great friends of man.
