Reduces CO2 emissions which helps slow global warming

Swapping to more environmentally friendly methods of energy (ex: solar power, hydropower)

Can help plant more trees in a more urban environment,

Planting trees can improve quality of life

Allows trees to grow longer and mature to provide shade and better air quality
