We should plant more trees. Planted in the right places around buildings, trees can significantly reduce air-conditioning costs. This means less Freon, an inflammable and odorless chemical emitted from air conditioners. It is considered to have damaging effects to the ozone layer. And trees improve air quality by producing oxygen. They also store carbon, offsetting harmful byproducts of fossil-fuel burning.

I agree that the shade from trees can truly be invaluable. There are other factors to keep in mind though. Maybe people prefer to just remove all the trees around their property. This can be for the risk of the trees falling. A large tree can cause very serious damage to a home. You have to keep in mind the climate of your region. If you are in a place prone to hurricanes, it may not be wise to have a lot of trees near your home.
