    More than 80 percent Canadians live in cities with almost one-quarter of country’s total population living in the Greater Golden Horseshoe (GGH) area. The GGH stretches in a curve around the western side of Lake Ontario with the City of Toronto occupying the northern side of the horseshoe. The GGH is an area of high potential food production as well as rapid population growth creating a mix of difficult to reconcile, opposing demands. For example, the need for housing and residential infrastructure conflicts directly with the need to preserve prime agricultural lands.

    Krošnje velikih stabala su prirodan filter za lebdeće čestice i štetne plinove u zraku. Jedno stablo iz atmosfere godišnje uklanja 150 kg CO2 i time doprinosi ublažavanju klimatskih promjena. Drveće pruža stanište, hranu i zaštitu ostalim biljkama i životinjama te time povećava bioraznolikost u urbanim sredinama. Sadnjom stabala danas utječemo na kvalitetu života budućih generacija!

    Τα μεγάλα αστικά δέντρα αποτελούν φίλτρα για τους αστικούς ρύπους και τα λεπτά σωματίδια. Ένα δέντρο μπορεί να απορροφήσει έως και 150 κιλά CO 2 ετησίως, να δεσμεύσει τον άνθρακα και συνεπώς να αμβλύνει την κλιματική αλλαγή. Τα δέντρα παρέχουν ενδιαίτημα, τροφή και προστασία για τα φυτά και τα ζώα, αυξάνοντας την αστική βιοποικιλότητα. Φυτεύοντας δέντρα σήμερα είναι ουσιαστικής σημασίας για τις μελλοντικές γενιές!

    Large urban trees are excellent filters for urban pollutants and fine particulates. Trees can provide food, such as fruits, nuts and leaves. Spending time near trees improves physical and mental health by increasing energy level and speed of recovery, while decreasing blood pressure and stress. Trees properly placed around buildings can reduce air conditioning needs by 30% and save energy used for heating by 20–50%. Trees provide habitat, food and protection to plants and animals, increasing urban biodiversity...planting trees today is essential for future generations!
