Why do people buy trees?

Answer 1

One reason people buy trees is to landscape their yards and property with species of trees they desire, or to plant trees that will grow together to make a windbreak. People buy fruit trees to have their own fruit or to have an orchard to sell fruit. Those who wish to grow and sell Christmas trees buy them when they are very small and harvest them when they are good heights for Christmas trees.

Answer 2

• Trees provide oxygen
• Trees and other growing vegetation are the only way we have of removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is a dangerous greenhouse gas, building up more and more, and is causing global warming and climate change.
• tree root prevent soil errosion
• trees provide protection from wind
• trees provide protection from the sun
• tree provide homes for some animals
• trees take a long time to regrow

The country Haiti cut down all the trees there and the soil was washed away, now they can't grow food.

They're trees for crying out loud.

Ahem, we also save them because they remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, store the carbon in their roots and branches, and release oxygen. This cuts down on greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and helps to slow global warming.

Trees are also home to thousands of different species of birds, animals and insects.

Why shouldn't you save the trees?

You cut a tree down - you plant a new one.

Trees (and plants generally) take in carbon dioxide from the air and release oxygen. This doesn't mean every single tree in the world needs to be "saved", but it does mean that it's generally a good idea to replant when you cut trees down.
