The trees, because absorbing carbon dioxide (CO2) during the photosynthesis process, fix the carbon in their own biomass and in the soil (which become real carbon reserves on the earth&#8217;s surface), and release <strong>oxygen<\/strong>. For this reason, it is preferable to plant the new trees near the sources of pollution rather than in areas on the other side of the globe. For example, planting new trees in a polluted plain near our big cities is a choice that contrasts global climate change, but at the same time can re-naturalize the place, making\u00a0it more livable.<\/p>\n<p>We believe that<strong> compensating CO2 emissions locally<\/strong>, planting new trees here and now, has a more powerful effect on CO2 reduction than projects in remote areas of the world.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_24619\" class=\"thumbnail alignnone\"><img class=\"size-large wp-image-24619\" src=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/06\/landscape-tree-nature-horizon-light-cloud-515137-pxhere.com_-870x490.jpg\" alt=\"landscape with trees\" width=\"870\" height=\"490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/06\/landscape-tree-nature-horizon-light-cloud-515137-pxhere.com_-870x490.jpg 870w, https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/06\/landscape-tree-nature-horizon-light-cloud-515137-pxhere.com_-570x320.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \/><div class=\"caption\">foto via pxhere<\/div><\/div>\n<h2>The benefits of trees<\/h2>\n<p>The beneficial effects of the trees are many, we never tire of remembering it, here are some:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>CO2 REDUCTION<\/strong>: each plant captures carbon dioxide (CO2) &#8211;\u00a0\u00a0the\u00a0main greenhouse gas &#8211; from the atmosphere, helping to reduce global warming.<\/li>\n<li><strong>CLEANER AND BREATHABLE AIR<\/strong>: trees act concretely as a filter on air quality, converting CO2 into oxygen, and avoiding the spread of harmful gases.<\/li>\n<li><strong>BENEFIT EFFECTS ON HEALTH<\/strong>: scientific studies show that our health, both physical and mental, depends on the presence of greenery in the places where we live.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div id=\"attachment_24620\" class=\"thumbnail alignnone\"><img class=\"size-large wp-image-24620\" src=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/06\/piantare-alberi-870x490.jpg\" alt=\"planting trees, the benefits of plants\" width=\"870\" height=\"490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/06\/piantare-alberi-870x490.jpg 870w, https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/06\/piantare-alberi-570x320.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \/><div class=\"caption\">The benefits of trees<\/div><\/div>\n<h2>The farmers of the Ecobnb network<\/h2>\n<p>Do you want to know the faces and stories of the Ecobnb&#8217;s farmers, which will help us promote CO2 compensation in an ethical, local, supportive and traceable manner?<\/p>\n<p>Keep following us, we&#8217;ll introduce you soon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Traveling with Ecobnb, you can reduce your carbon footprint.
