What is the power of one tree?

Here is the super hero part. Through a process called photosynthesis, leaves pull in carbon dioxide and water and use the energy of the sun to convert this into chemical compounds such as sugars that feed the tree. But as a by-product of that chemical reaction oxygen is produced and released by the tree.

It is proposed that one large tree can provide a day’s supply of oxygen for up to four people.

Happy Christmas everyone!
