Trees take carbon dioxide from the air and give off oxygen.
More trees means more carbon dioxide is used.
Carbon dioxide is the main greenhouse gas.
So more trees means more greenhouse gases are being used
This leaves less greenhouse gases and less climate change.
In Wales there is a scheme to "lock up" carbon by planting trees.
Facts:
K.T. Tunstall has supported the planting of enough trees to replace the CO2 emissions produced by making 500,000 copies of the album Eye to the Telescope.
Coldplay have bought 10,000 mango trees in India to replace the CO2 emissions produced from 26 million album sales
