Truth !!
I should also mention the Amazon rain forest contains an estimated 390 Billion trees, and each tree in that rain forest produces enough oxygen to keep two humans alive for a day. This causes some to call the rain forest the "Lungs of the planet..
What most don't realize that the life that exists in the forest is so profuse that all of the oxygen produced is used by the wildlife there...
Most of the oxygen breathed by us is produced in the world's oceans !
Scientists estimate that 50-80% of the oxygen production on Earth comes from the ocean. The majority of this production is from oceanic plankton - drifting plants, algae, and some bacteria that can photosynthesize
