Plant a tree
21-06-2019
We would like to inform you that Hotel Convento do Espinheiro is committed to these types of causes. It is with this in mind that on July 28th, we invite you to come and plant a tree to celebrate World Nature Conservation Day.
Planting a tree is much more than just planting, it is creating life for a living being. Did you know that a tree inhales about 10 kg of CO2 and exhales enough oxygen to sustain a family of four for 1 year? And that a tree lives for about 5,000 years?
Nowadays, we hear more and more about the problem of global warming. It is worth noting that there is now a growing concern about this issue, a subject that is also much discussed in political and social terms.
Did you know that when it rains, a tree can absorb around 250 litres of water? In other words, the roots can absorb up to that amount and the most interesting and curious thing to realize is that they also spread the accumulated water through their roots. This causes the soil to be strengthened. Therefore, you should know that a place where there are lots of trees is unlikely to have torrential rain;
In addition to what was mentioned above, trees strengthen the soil, which results in a reduction in erosion and degradation. This is especially important since it is a finite resource that is not renewed over time;
When there is water present, the roots retain it and conduct it from the soil to the water table. In this way, this water will reach the rivers, which provides a stable water level and prevents droughts;
As mentioned at the beginning of this article, trees inhale a lot of CO2. Therefore, in warmer environments where there are trees, evapotranspiration occurs. As a result, these places have a cooler climate;
We can plant a tree, simply because we do, there doesn't need to be any associated advantage.
