Springfield — I am a Boy Scout with troop 1145 and I believe we should leave trees up

and not cut them down. We have enough stores and buildings in our area

so it would be nice to leave the trees be. Trees provide oxygen which

helps us breathe. Also we usually kill many animals when we chop down

trees by destroying their habitats .Trees are also better to look at

than tall buildings. For these reasons, I believe we should and must

leave trees be.
