Call me stupid but I was told that while yes, Trees does absorb CO2 form the air and give Oxygen back during daytime. There’s also a reason to not have tree in your enclosed bedroom during night as it release all the CO2 absorbed.
So my question was that people are saying to plant tree to help purify the air in streets, city, or any dense population location. If the statement in first paragraph’s correct. wouldn’t that just result in that the trees would give the o2 and purify the air during day time and just flood the street with co2 during night? I’m confused…

quite simple. trees DONT emit CO2 during the night, they just dont take in CO2 at night. There is no reason not to keep a tree in an enclosed bedroom, it just doesnt help much because the rate is fairly slow (you need about 8 trees to offset JUST your breathing).
As for using this to clean up the atmosphere, yah, that is the plan of #teamTrees. There are 2, first all that C02 is stored in the wood of the trees, and if that wood is burnt, the C02 is released again. and 2nd, 31 trees or so will offset 1 ton of CO2 emissions (per year), and we need to get rid of at least 20,000,000,000 Tons of CO2 (per year), that’s a lot of trees.
