On World Environment Day 2024, Why We All Should Adopt an Olive Tree ~ Domenico Pratico, MD, FCPP<\/h1>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDuring a recent trip to Lesvos Island in Greece to attend an exciting meeting on Olive Oil and Health,\nthanks to Fotini and Antonis Tirpintiri, two olive tree enthusiasts and dear friends, I became aware\nof some lesser-known facts about the olive tree which convinced me that we all should adopt an\nolive tree.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIn fact, while most of us immediately recognize that olive trees are beautiful, add aesthetic value to\nthe landscape, and represent a cultural symbol particularly around the Mediterranean areas, not\neverybody is aware of some \u201cother\u201d important facts about this tree, which are very appropriate on\nthis World Environment Day.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t– Olive trees can thrive in a variety of conditions, including dry and arid environments. They are\nperfect for regions that experience droughts or desertification. \n– Olive trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it in their leaves, branches, and\ntrunks. By doing so, they help to significantly reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the air. \n– Olive trees release oxygen into the air, which helps to improve air quality and reduce air pollution,\na major contributor to several health problems. \n– Olive trees provide a habitat for a wide range of wildlife, including birds, insects, and other small\nanimals, supporting biodiversity. \n– Olive trees have deep roots that stabilize the soil, making them an effective barrier against soil\nerosion, which is important to prevent landslides.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSo, adopting an olive tree is a simple and effective way to take action against some of the\nconsequences of climate change, one of the most pressing issues facing our planet today. In addition\nto the wide range of beneficial effects, from absorbing carbon dioxide to improving air quality and\nsupporting biodiversity, I described above let\u2019s not forget that these trees provide the olive fruit\nwhich is the sole ingredient of one of the most powerful foods that mother nature can give us: olive\noil.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFor all these reasons, planting and taking care of an olive tree means that not only will we produce\nmore sustainably healthy food (olive oil), but also that we are making a positive impact on the\nenvironment and the planet for ourselves and, most importantly, for future generations.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNo wonder why in Greek mythology the olive tree was considered a gift from the Gods. Long live the\nolive tree!\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
