Key West The Newspaper

Letter To The Editor:

The tree planting project in Key Largo is a valuable investment that will pay enormous dividends.
This beautiful and effective undertaking will reverse the destructive impulses that have been tearing away at our communities.

Trees clean the air. Trees help cleanse the air by intercepting airborne particles, reducing heat, and absorbing such pollutants as carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide.

Trees remove air pollution by lowering air temperature, through respiration, and by retaining particulates.

This project will increase roadway safety (no blinding headlight glare at nighttime), increase highway attractiveness and significantly improve our health.

Sincerely,
Tina Maples
