About your host

Welcome to moretrees.com, my name is Hien Ngo. I'm a former software engineer with a 2007 US and international patent. I now stay home with kids and work on houses and portraiture.  

Why more trees?

(Courtesy of the San Francisco Tree Council). 

• Tree foliage filters dust and can remove from the atmosphere toxic pollutants such as carbon-monoxide, nitrogen oxides, airborne ammonia, sulphur dioxide.
• The leaves take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen for us to breath.
• Trees intercept rainwater aiding soil absorption for gradual release into streams; preventing flooding, filtering toxins and impurities, and extending water availability into dry months when it is most needed.
• Trees cleanse ground water as it filters through their root systems.
• Both urban and rural forests are home to a wealth of wildlife which depends on trees for survival.
• A single, fully grown sycamore tree can transform 26 pounds of carbon dioxide into life-giving oxygen every year.
• Trees improve property values. The addition of trees and shrubs can increase property values by 10 - 20%.
• Water from roots is drawn up to the leaves where it evaporates. The conversion from water to gas absorbs huge amounts of heat cooling hot city air.
• Trees help offset the "heat island" effect resulting from too much glass and concrete.
• Urban neighborhoods with mature trees can be up to 11 degrees cooler in summer heat than neighborhoods without trees.
• A one degree rise in temperature equals a 2% increase in peak electricity consumption.
• Trees and shrubs slow down rainwater, helping runoff to soak into the soil at a slow and even rate. This takes the pressure off our storm sewers and allows for the renewal of ground water.
• One acre of trees produces enough oxygen for 18 people every day.
• One acre of trees absorbs enough carbon dioxide per year to match that emitted by driving a car 26,000 miles.
• Trees provide fruits, nuts, and flowers.
