Introduction Trees…Release oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide to freshen the air we breathe. Each of us inhales 35 pounds of oxygen daily, all from plants. Every day we need seven trees to convert our carbon dioxide to oxygen. Remove ozone and other air pollutants, as well as trap dust and dirt... Save energy and reduce cooling costs. Trees act like air conditioners, releasing cooling moisture into the air. Trees play a significant part in reducing erosion and moderating the climate. They remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store large quantities of carbon in their tissues. Trees and forests provide a habitat for many species of animals and plants. Tropical rainforests are one of the most biodiverse habitats in the world.

Before we are going to the site of the tree planting, I and my group mates coordinate first to the Barangay officials for our tree planting activity. And they agree to our proposal, according to them we need to bring our own digging materials for planting the seedlings, watering materials for watering the seedlings and tree guards for the shelter of the seedlings.

Evaluation The field work taught us how hard the change we want can be achieved. The tree planting activity wasn’t that long but one needs commitment in order to do it in a day out. We salute all guides who are always there just so that they can help facilitate the change we want to achieve. The activity not only helped opened our eyes on what is really the condition of our environment, moreover it helped the community where we had tree planting because in time, the seedlings would help prevent flash floods in their area as well as other calamities and more importantly through planting those seedlings, we are able to contribute in the preservation and reforestation of that said community.
