Forests are like giant sponges that drink up carbon from the air. Trees take in carbon dioxide through their leaves, and turn it into food for themselves, kind of like how you eat to grow stronger. Cities are full of buildings and cars, which mostly release more carbon than they absorb, so forests are way better at helping us fight climate change.
Examples
- Cars in cities add more carbon to the air than trees can take away.
- The city park is like a small forest, but it can’t absorb as much carbon as the big woods outside.
