3. Social and Communal Benefits
Trees are not only attractive to the eye, but
they also give people a feeling of
peacefulness and serenity. From the smallest
to the largest, trees are a symbol of life.
Planting a tree can give a person a sense of
new beginnings. The sight of a very old tree
can almost make one nostalgic. Many trees
are planted every year to represent
important events. They are also sometimes
planted in memory of a loved one.

4. Trees are also symbolic for different cultures. For
example, the Tree of Life, and Yggdrasel, the
World Tree. People are also fascinated by the
endless varieties of trees and of how much trees
provide for us. In communities, trees are planted
instead of brick walls to provide privacy in
neighborhoods. Architects include trees in their
plans to enhance the attractiveness of their
buildings, direct traffic, and provide distractions
from unpleasant sights.

10. Environmental Benefits
Trees have a large impact on our environment.
They help to control our climate by absorbing
and reflecting radiant energy from the sun. They
also provide shade to us during the heat of the
summer. Trees are also very important because
they help to prevent soil erosion. Without trees
we would have a limited supply of oxygen to
breath. The amount of carbon dioxide in our
atmosphere would prove to be deadly if trees…

Trees are a very good investment to
homeowners and businesses for a variety of

22. Trees
by Joyce Kilmer
I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast.
A tree that looks at God all day
And lifts her leafy arms to pray.
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair.
Upon whose bosom snow has lain
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me.
But only God can make a tree.

23. Conclusion
I learned so much about technology while
working on my non-linear power point
module. Every aspect, with exception to the
research, was new to me. I am so excited
that I have actually succeeded in this
assignment. There are so many ways I will be
able to use this type of presentation in the
classroom. It puts my mind at ease that I
now have a great learning tool to use.
