Trees are commonly chopped down and processed for wood and paper, but the
enduring value of trees comes from their ability to turn the Sun's energy into
oxygen, sustaining all human and other animal life on Earth. Campaigners against
deforestation, warn that the consumption of trees for industrial purposes threatens
the delicate balance necessary for this chemical process to take place. The unique
chemical process that trees and plants use to turn light energy from the sun into
oxygen is known as photosynthesis. "Photosynthesis" is a Greek word meaning
"light" and "putting together." During this process, trees harness the sun's energy,
using it to put carbon dioxide gas together with water to produce oxygen.
