A single mature tree transpiring at a rate of 100 gallons per day provides the cooling equivalent of nine room air conditioners operating for 12 hours each day. An acre of trees removes the ozone produced by 48 cars operating two hours a day. A dense strip of conifers a quarter-mile wide can remove 80 percent of the airborne particulate matter which passes through it.

BOTTOM LINE (no pun intended): For all our San Antonio and Austin diaper service customers the choice is clear,  trees are important, let's not waste them on a product that's used for a couple of hours and then thrown away.
