TREE
One tree souks in as much carbon in a year as a car produces while circling the globe once. Trees reduce yearly heating and cooling costs by 2.1 billion dollars. Trees lower air temperature by evaporating water in their leaves. Tree cut down noise pollution by acting as sound barriers. Trees provide shelter, shade, paper, and food. Trees are longest (4,600 years – after Noah’s flood), tallest (360 feet – 36 floors) living organism on the earth today. 1/3 of USA is covered by trees.
Trees were made by God. Trees were in the beginning and trees will be at the end. Through tree first Adam released sin, second Adam killed sin on the tree. Idols were made of trees. Buildings were made of trees. Trees were used to be set on fire. Wisdom is like a tree where success is the fruit. Phillip was found under the tree – shade. Jesus cursed the fig tree which had leaves but no fruit
Genesis 1:11-12; Psalm 1:3
