Word of the Day: Evapotranspiration

Evapotranspiration: The process by which a plant actively moves and releases water vapor.


Put simply--in addition to providing shade, trees can decrease the surrounding temperature up to 9 degrees through evapotranspiration.

If you have lots of trees around your house, then you are probably already enjoying their evapotranspiratory effects!
