But in Singapore city is very hot and humid, lots of peoples still use air conditioner.

Here's a nice example: When my parents bought their house, there was only 1 tree and it has since had to be uprooted due to interfering with pavement. However, since moving in, my parents have planted 5 trees in their garden. A pine tree, a maple, 2 apple trees, and a cherry tree all grow on their property. My mom also has bird feeders all over the place. My mom's garden has become a food court for wildlife. Hummingbirds, cardinals, sparrows, squirrels, rabbits, even deer have been spotted in the yard.

Trees also help with noise pollution. The dense foliage and trunk works well as a sound barrier, reducing city noises to several decibels. Important if you're trying to stay sane in a noisy environment.

You have to admit, the opening quote is seriously wonderful!

TED ED is the best! So educational

What an excellent and timely lesson! It's also very worthwhile for urban gardeners and planners to consider a variety of plants native to a certain climate in addition to trees. Green spaces based on indigenous ecosystems are low-maintenance and near self-sustaining! P.S. Would highly recommend Kimmerer's "Braiding Sweetgrass"! That intro quote is too good.

The houses are nice, but I can count the trees on one hand! Where I currently live the county recently decided to cut down a bunch of trees to allow grass to grow! I am just one person but that's why I originally moved here!!! So I am in the process of finding a home in a tree friendly environment. I need my trees.🌳♥️

Very impressive! I always know that trees and greens are good for both the environment and the dwellers but never fully figured out the reasons behind. This video brings me new perspectives to look around my neighbourhood. Glad to know that y city is also dedicating to plant more trees and build more green spaces, nowhere to the Singaporean level though, but according to the report, Shanghai aimed to have 18% of the land covered by greens. Last year, the number was already 17+%, hopefully it would be completed!

I have planted several trees on our property. I've planted tall trees on the south side of our property to shade our home in Summer and several fruit trees in our back yard. My neighbor has cut down all trees and shrubs and uses only their A/C to cool their house. This same neighbor complains if any of my trees drop a single leaf in their yard. If their A/C breaks down or we have a sustained power outage they cook while we enjoy the shade of our trees.

really nice for ted ed to name-drop us!🇸🇬

Awesome and informative video

Love your stuff kick on love it 👍 ❤

Didn't expect the city I'm studying in to be featured here in the end! I can really tell the presence of trees does bring benefits compared to cities without them. And yes, the Gardens by the Bay Supertrees are magnificent sight. This actually gets to me personally... My city of Jakarta, specifically in a region called Kelapa Gading, used to have a boulevard planted with trees from end to end, complete with a garden in a familiar roundabout. Then the development for extensive transport comes and just within a flash, all the green stuff get chopped down and the green circle gets converted into a construction site. True, there's still some shade on the road, but of concrete and steel rather than leaves. The air feels a bit stuffier and warmer lately... It doesn't feel the same anymore, does it?

Loved this video. I hope we all get to this one day

Amazing TED ED👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Our house almost covers 70% of our total perimeter, but my father still encourages us to plant trees all around us. We had about 10trees around us (not including banana "trees") and we have 2 new seedlings growing... and yes the advantages are great... I compared the surrounding temperature of our house to our relatives close by and yeah, their perimeters are treeless and its borderline summer temperature even in mid november... their land is cemented and the only plant life are some potted roses and poppies, nothing else The air is always fresh here at my home, lots of natural shade and not the kind where its totally dark... And maybe the only disadvantage we have for having trees is the amount of fruit rotting on our feet when the fruiting season starts... we just cant eat them all, too many XD

It's so sad there's a number of people who can't see the value of the trees themselves, but they need to be taught how those trees can be used to maintain human health.

a beautiful animation style for a beautiful topic!
