Each person can make a difference to climate change, because one small positive act multiplied millions of times produces immense benefits. Yayasan Tanam Pohon Indonesia (YTPI) is a non-profit voluntary organisation established in 2007, with its mission to react to problems caused by the massive and increasing levels of deforestation in Indonesia, raise awareness of environmental issues and the role forests play, take action against climate change, educate children on these issues and to PLANT TREES.

12. The greatest misconception
• Myth:
– Climate change crisis is too big for an
individual to do anything and it is already too
late to do anything
• The Fact:
– Everybody can contribute and if we act now,
we can bring down the emission levels to that
of 1970

27. HOW DO TREES HELP?
• Trees are green machines that act as natural filters
of our air
• Through photosynthesis trees absorb carbon
dioxide (a key GHG and principle contributor to
global warming) from the atmosphere while
releasing oxygen back out
• They store carbon in the trunk, branches, leaves,
roots, soil and foliage
• Half a tree's mass is carbon, so large amounts of
carbon are stored in forests¹

28. HOW DO TREES HELP?
• As globally important storehouses of carbon,
forests play a critical role in influencing the Earth's
climate²
•Forests are also crucial sources of food, medicine
and clean drinking water for millions of people.
•Tropical deforestation is responsible for
approximately 20% of total human-caused carbon
dioxide emissions each year³
•A tree will absorb approximately 20.3 kg of CO2
per year over its lifetime
•If planted now, your trees should outlive you
