My capstone focuses on the importance of trees in today’s climate, where the world’s temperature is constantly increasing due to the increase of greenhouse gases generated from the constant use of fossil fuels. I have read many articles on the subject of trees and their benefits on areas in the city with no trees. I have also talked with my neighbors who also find this to be a huge issue in our city because they find it so hard to find shade in the summertime.

I have learned about so many tree planting programs that are local to our city or open to the entire world that give out trees everwhere and I felt that this capstone should help by showing these resources we could use, while also showing how our city should act now and try to get a tree planted in as much places as possible.
