Trees TAKE IN CO2 and GIVE OFF O2....................

[Vanders9]

Actually trees take in both O2 and CO2, and release both O2 and C02. Large trees produce far more C02 than they take in.

Even so, its all pretty academic. The old green mantra of "the amazon rain forest is the lungs of the planet" is nonsense. The amount of CO2 absorbed by trees is a fraction of what is taken in by phytoplankton in the oceans.
