"The 3-year Chicago Urban Forest Climate Project examined how trees affect components of the regional urban ecosystem. During 1991, the regions trees removed an estimated 6,145 tons of air pollutants, providing air cleansing worth $9.2 million. Planting abouth three trees per building lot is estimated to save annual heating and cooling costs by $50 to $90 per dwelling unit. The net present value of services trees provide is estimated as $38 million, or $402 per planted tree. The present value of long-term benefits are more than twice the present value of costs."
