Planting a tree is not only a symbolic act of commitment to nature but also a powerful action that contributes to the fight against climate change. Trees are the silent superheroes of our ecosystem. 🌱💚During their growth, trees absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) and release oxygen into the air. By reducing the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere, we help mitigate global warming and its consequences. 🌍🌳Their roots also function as sponges, helping to retain water in the soil. This prevents erosion and improves water quality, benefiting aquatic life and nearby communities. 💧💧Remember, our future depends on the actions we take today. Together, we can make a significant difference for our planet. 🌏🌿

Did you know that only approximately 9% of the plastic waste generated worldwide is recycled? 🥤
According to a study by the OECD, published in 2022, despite about 25% being collected for recycling, only around 9% actually ends up being recycled. This study also revealed that, out of the discarded plastic, 22% ends up in unregulated locations such as illegal landfills, oceans, etc. 🗑️
We can all help mitigate this situation by choosing sustainable products and replacing plastic in our purchases with alternatives that utilize biodegradable materials.
