Hello viewers, I will be talking about Smokey’s the bear as well as forest fire awareness. So along time ago in Washington there was a forest fire by someone who either dropped a match or a cigarette but, it started a fire and when the forest rangers spotted it, it was spreading a lot around the area the rangers went to the rocks after the smoke became unbearable (pun not intended) but when the fire blew over the only living thing aside from them was a bear cub with bad burns. When he got tended to his wound and was healed he became a national sensation all across America to spread wildfire awareness.

 

And now 10 facts about the trees in the world

 

1. A healthy tree can have a value of up to $10,000.
2. Each average-sized tree provides an estimated $7 savings in annual environmental benefits, including energy conservation and reduced pollution.
3. An average American uses about 750 pounds of paper every year, and 95% of homes are built using wood. That means each person uses the equivalent of one 100 foot tall, 16 inch diameter, tree every year for their paper and wood product needs.
4. The average tree in an urban/city area has a life expectancy of only 8 years.
5. Well-maintained trees and shrubs can increase property value by up to 14%.
6. One tree can absorb as much carbon in a year as a car produces while driving 26,000 miles.
7. About one third of the United States of America is covered by forests.
8. According to the last forest inventory, there are almost 247 billion trees over 1 inch in diameter in the U.S.
9. A mature tree removes almost 70 times more pollution than a newly planted tree.
10. The tallest tree in the country is a Coast Redwood growing in northern California’s Redwood National Park. It is 369 feet tall and over 2000 years old!

3)What are you doing to help? (talk about a specific idea or plan).

4)How can you encourage others to do the same?
