Plant a tree

A single tree absorbs one ton of carbon dioxide during its lifetime. The shade from trees can also reduce your air-conditioning bill by 10 to 15%.

The Arbor Day Foundation www.arborday.org has tips and information of planting and caring for trees.

i've done that

I've planted a few trees a few years ago in the garden of the house we used to rent. Now the trees are huge! It is such a good feeling to know that these are there because I took that small effort to plant them and water them for a month.
