SAVE TREES Trees are very important for our survival in many ways. They clean the soil by filtering sewage and chemicals used in farms. They help control noise pollution and reduce flash flooding. Trees absorb carbon dioxide which contributes to global warming. They also clean the air by absorbing pollutants like carbon monoxide and sulphur dioxide. They also help to lower temperatures. They give shade during the summer and act as windbreaks during winter if they are located on the windward side

Global warming is causing species to respond to a warmer climate by moving to cooler locations. Most animals live in areas with very specific climate conditions‚ such as temperature that enable them to thrive. Any change in the climate of an area can affect the animals living there‚ as well as the makeup of the entire ecosystem‚ global warming is causing these issues. Many animals are harmed and/or killed by global warming. Water temperature is affecting many animals‚ which is causing population
