TreeTube Climate Tech relevance
Trees are crucial in reducing pollution, capturing carbon, and lowering the temperature - mitigating the Heat Island Effect, which is when an urban area is significantly warmer than its surrounding rural area, leading to higher air-pollution. Trees in urban areas can remove up to 1.7 million tons of air pollution per year in the United States alone, and a single mature tree can capture 45 kg of carbon a year.
However, city streets are a hostile habitat for trees. Dense underground utilities, impervious asphalt, and compacted urban soils all prevent trees from thriving due to a lack of access to healthy soil, air, and water.
TreeTube’s solution gives trees access to these three crucial elements, so that they can coexist with an urban environment.
