DAY 24:GREEN COVENANT GREEN

Coming to Covenant University five years ago, I had never seen so much green in my life...talk-less of so much green in one place. Now these trees/lawns aren't just planted to beautify the environment, they were planted in support of the Going Green Initiative regards stopping GLOBAL WARMING. You don't know what that is? Where have you been living? Oya wait I'll tell you!

Global warming is when the earth heats up (the temperature rises).  It happens when greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, water vapor, nitrous oxide, and methane) trap heat and light from the sun in the earth’s atmosphere, which increases the temperature.  This hurts many people, animals, and plants.  Many cannot take the change, so they die.When they die, the animals lose a source of food, along with their habitat. When the plants and animals die, people lose two sources of food, plant food and animal food.  They may also lose their homes.  As a result, they would also have to leave the area or die.  This would be called a break in the food chain.

So therefore Covenant University has decided to keep on planting trees because as trees grow, they help stop global warming by removing carbon dioxide from the air, storing carbon in the trees and soil, and releasing oxygen into the atmosphere.

…and for all the benefits they provide.

While fighting global warming, trees provide many benefits to all of us, every day. They provide cooling shade, block cold winter winds, attract birds and wildlife, purify our air, prevent soil erosion, clean our water, and add grace and beauty to our homes and communities.
