A big, leafy shade tree helps keep us cool during the summer. If that tree is shading the house, it reduces the need for electricity to run the air conditioner.
Trees also help keep us warmer in the winter. Many schools, businesses and farms have rows of evergreen trees around their buildings to a block the cold winter wind.
