Point 10 of the Main Systems of the human body below, brings oxygen into the human body and outputs carbon dioxide. Trees take in that carbon dioxide into their leaves and release oxygen for animals, humans and roots of those trees to use.

We cover the roots of those trees with tarmac and concrete so that they cannot get oxygen for their roots, and grow. This reduces the oxygen that they produce from a smaller canopy, whilst we continue to burn that oxygen using cars.

The land that is covered by new homes, roads and shops gets its rainwater drained off it into the storm drains and because of the lack of infrasture created; this then swells the rivers and floods towns. This rainwater used to drain into the land and then be abstracted for use to provide mains water. This reduces the available volume of fresh water for water companies to process and provide to its customers.

The UK puts millions of tons of pollution into its rivers, which kills off the algae in the oceans.
"The level of oxygen refers to the amount of oxygen present in the atmosphere or water. Oxygen is produced by photosynthesizing organisms that live in the ocean, in fresh water, and on land. These organisms include bacteria, algae and plants. Photosynthesizing algae in the ocean produce around 70% of oxygen in the atmosphere. There was very little oxygen in the atmosphere or in the ocean prior to the evolution of photosynthesizing bacteria that produce oxygen.  The rise of oxygen re-directed the evolution of life on Earth, and today the vast majority of land, freshwater, and oceanic organisms require oxygen for respiration, the biochemical process that generates energy from food." from Understanding Global Change

"The main systems of the human body are:

1. Circulatory system / Cardiovascular system:
   1. ◦ Circulates blood around the body via the heart, arteries and veins, delivering oxygen and nutrients to organs and cells and carrying their waste products away.
   2. ◦ Keeps the body's temperature in a safe range.
2. Digestive system and Excretory system:
   1. ◦ System to absorb nutrients and remove waste via the gastrointestinal tract, including the mouth, esophagus, stomach and intestines.
   2. ◦ Eliminates waste from the body.
3. 3 Endocrine system: ◦ Influences the function of the body using hormones.
4. Integumentary system / Exocrine system:◦ Skin, hair, nails, sweat and other exocrine glands.
5. Immune system and lymphatic system:
   1. ◦ Defends the body against pathogens that may harm the body.
   2. ◦ The system comprising a network of lymphatic vessels that carry a clear fluid called lymph.
6. Muscular system: ◦ Enables the body to move using muscles.
7. Nervous system: ◦ Collects and processes information from the senses via nerves and the brain and tells the muscles to contract to cause physical actions.
8. Renal system / Urinary system ◦ The system where the kidneys filter blood to produce urine, and get rid of waste.
9. Reproductive system: ◦ The reproductive organs required for the production of offspring.
10. Respiratory system: ◦ Brings air into and out of the lungs to absorb oxygen and remove carbon dioxide.
11. Skeletal System: ◦ Bones maintain the structure of the body and its organs.

"A mature tree has three basic parts: 1) roots, 2) crown, and 3) trunk or bole, with these functions:-

Roots -

1. Anchoring the tree to the soil
2. Absorbing water and minerals from the soil
3. Storing of reserve food
4. Preventing soil erosion

Crown -

1. Leaves produce food for the plant
2. Leaves help to filter dust and other particles present in the air, thus keep the air clean
3. Leaves keep the plant cool through the loss of water by evaporation
4. Twigs help to give rise to new plants
5. Boughs and branches store food materials in the form of sugar that are required by the plant for their growth and metabolism
6. Boughs and branches provide strength and support to the plant

Trunk or Bole

1. Bark protects the delicate inside wood of the tree
2. Cambium helps in making new cells thus allowing the tree to grow in diameter
3. Outer bark and sapwood helps in supporting the crown and providing the tree its shape
4. Pith and sapwood conducts water and minerals from the roots to the leaves
5. Inner bark transports the foods prepared by the leaves to all parts of a plant
6. Outer bark and cambium provides mechanical strength to the plant

Function 1 - Breathing in oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide keeps humans alive.

"An average size tree produces enough oxygen in one year to keep a family of four breathing." from Nitrofil.

Roots require both oxygen and water.
Permanently saturated soil will kill the roots and the tree. It will also stop oxygen being absorbed by the roots and also kill the roots.

Compacted soil will also kill the roots since air and water cannot reach them. "On a park property that receives flood irrigation, a project manager informed me that they wait at least 5 days after an irrigation cycle to conduct any business in and around the park trees. This is a great policy to help prevent damage to the roots that rely on adequate soil oxygen to remain functional and healthy." from Integrity Tree Service. Compacted soil occurs on tarmac pavements when they are created by rollers and compactioin machines. Once that has finished then both people and vehicles compact the soil on a regular basis. The tarmac surface stops the rain, oxygen and nutrients from getting below into the soil, so once those elements have been used by the roots, then the roots will have excreted its waste products and then they will die off.

This shows the roots of a tree onthe ground surface and another where the cowded roots are girdling a tree - this girdle will then kill the tree, since eventually the sapwood will no longer go past it to the roots having been converted into dead heartwood and thus water and nutrients will not transported up the trunk

Function 2 - This uses the mouth to take in food and water, which is then digested by the digestion system, with water.

Roots absorb the nutrients dissolved in water. These then get transferred up the roots, the trunk and to the crown together with water goes up in the sapwood.

Function 2 - As the food is digested it produces nutrients for circulation round the body in the Circulatory System of Function 1.

Leaves produce food for the plant.
"The amount of photosynthesis that can occur in the leaves is directly related to the amount of water that the roots can absorb. A small root system can only support the photosynthesis of a small canopy, and roots can only grow larger if they have enough energy (sugar) provided by the leaves. In this way, the tree must balance its above ground and below ground growth. Topping a tree will stunt its growth by limiting the amount of photosynthesis that can occur in the leaves (by the way, NEVER top trees- it is very dangerous and bad for the tree). Likewise, cutting roots or restricting the roots’ growing space will limit the amount of water that can be transported to the leaves for photosynthesis." from Tree Physiology Primer.

Function 2 - When we eat too much then the excess will most likely be converted to fat and stored somewhere in the body for later use when food supply is insufficient.

The Trunk transports the food prepared by the leaves to all parts of the plant.

"It is well known that trees act as carbon sinks, taking in carbon dioxide from the air during photosynthesis and releasing the oxygen that humans breathe. While trees use carbon dioxide to make their own food, they actually need oxygen (much like humans do) to process that food into energy.
In order to use stored starch for growth, trees must convert the sugars back into energy through a process called respiration. Respiration requires oxygen. During respiration, sugar and oxygen are combined to produce energy, with water and carbon dioxide created as byproducts. The energy that is released can then be used to make new tissues. Humans do the same thing when they process stored sugars. While trees take in oxygen from their surroundings, humans breathe it in with their lungs. Just as a person who is exercising needs to breathe deeply, a tree that is actively growing needs an immediate source of oxygen." from Tree Physiology Primer.

Function 7 - The nervous system indicates if there is a problem. This is passed to the Brain, which hopefully will have a solution, which gets transmitted to the respective parts of the body to execute this solution.

If a problem occurs on a branch of a tree, that information is transmitted down the nerve system in the centre of each branch and trunk to junction between the roots and the trunk. A possible solution is then transmitted back to the affected area. We had a clump og hostas growing in a small bed shadowed by fencing. Each spring the slugs would eat the foliage. The hosta got fed up with this and sent instructions to the new leaves to produce something that the slugs would not like. Then for several years we had lovely hostas with flowers before being herbaceous they died down in the autumn. Some trees in our local park had their juvenile foliage stripped off during some springtimes by caterpillars. They got round that by producing another set of leaves once all the caterpillars had transposed. Plants can also help each other and although they do not have lightning fast nerve systems, they get along

I can further wate my time in trying to get the most stupid animal in this world to understand that it is killing itself and the world round itself with concrete, tarmac and metal.

You have the answer in

• hemp to stop polluting the world with petrol and its air pollution,
• building, build, building without updating the water and waste supply systems,
  not updating the transport structure to provide a moving transport system instead of it being stationary,
  stop overloading businesses so that they have to employ an accountant on a full time basis for a 1 man business with all the new requirements,
  190,000 people have contracted Covid-19 within the last week in the UK, but you get schoolgirls getting on public buses, all jammed together some with face masks, others without, eating chocolates passed them to each other, drinking pop and laughing at you if you complain. They might get it and be unaffected, but if I get it, even though I have had the 2 jabs and the booster jab, I will probaly not survive. I am going to have to have my groceries delivered and not go on the bus in the future if I am any chance of surviving in this crazy country. Despite this and taking extreme care, I still got it, and have recently recovered (April 2022).
