I attended Trees 2000 this summer at Keele University, where Dr Peter
Freer-Smith spoke about the above subject, my notes could be better but a
couple of facts stuck in my mind.
- One Oak tree growing for one hundred years will absorb just one years
worth of carbon produced by one car !.
- It takes 7 hectares of continuous cover forest to remove the pollutants
from 1.7 cars.
the main thrust was trees help with removal of pollutants and particulates
from the atmosphere but it is not the answer to the problem, and that the
use of fossil fuels must be cut.
