Tree Planting Program in Newark, New Jersey.

Mayor Cory A. Booker and Acting Engineering Director Mehdi Mohammadish announced recently that the City of Newark, New Jersey, is still seeking volunteers to help plant nearly 100 trees across the City. The Newark tree-planting program will continue throughout the Month of May.

Please support this vitally important program.

And, bring some greenery to your home! An average home or office of less than 2,000 square feet should have at least 15 plants to help improve air quality.

Use Plants to improve air quality at home or in the office.

Did you know that a study by NASA and the Associated Landscape Contractors of America (ALCA) concluded that common houseplants such as bamboo palms and spider plants not only make indoor spaces more attractive but convert carbon dioxide into oxygen?

Did you know that plants, through photosynthesis, purify the air by removing harmful elements such as trichloroethylene, benzene, and formaldehyde?
