Plant Trees and Reduce Runoff
DCL
You should plant trees as often as you can. You can go carbon neutral by planting twenty trees a year. If that's not a good enough reason, you can plant them to increase the energy-efficiency of your home or use them to reduce runoff.
Runoff pollution is a major contributor to the decrease of water quality and is an often overlooked environmental problem. A single medium-sized tree can filter over 2000 gallons of water a year. The water is then put back into the water cycle via evapotranspiration. Planting a tree can keep our water clean and drinkable.
