3. Bonus: Fun Fact

Did you know that trees redistribute up to 95% of the water they absorb?

When it rains, trees absorb stormwater into their roots and leaves, reducing erosion and flooding. Later, their leaves release it back into the air through transpiration, producing a powerful cooling effect that affects local microclimates.
