‘Plant for Ireland’ Appeal: Society is facing a mammoth problem of climate change. Control of Co2 by our generation is apparently not doing enough to protect society from world disasters.
If you are concerned ” Lend a hand ” !Plant for Ireland “! We ask for a positive response.
Trees help to fight Co.2, they absorb and remove it from our air, storing it and releasing oxygen.
Those who know tell us that an acre of trees absorb an amount of carbon dioxide to driving your car 26,000 miles. Even more true, we hear that one tree can produce enough oxygen for 4 people and annually for 18 people.
Trees absorb pollutant gases such as Nitrogen Oxide , sulphur and Dioxide , specialists tell us.
Should you “Fear for the future” will you join our campaign and “Plant for Ireland”! It is in all our interests.
