Why Trees Are Out to Get You

Want to help plant 20M trees by 2020? Go to https://teamtrees.org #teamtrees

Huge thanks to all the YouTubers who organized this. My apologies for the repost.

These videos are from 2012 so my interest in trees goes back a long ways. I think these videos discuss two of the most interesting and amazing facts about our leafy friends: they are made mostly of CO2 (which comes from us breathing out amongst other sources) and they can transport water up a tube higher than any we can currently manufacture. So trees are out to get you. But we do much worse to them so we owe it to them to plant some more. 20 mil is a good start.
