Trees are not only for oxygen. Other than bearing fruits, trees have held great value and respect in old tales and myths. Back then nobody knew about carbon dioxide or oxygen or any of the science stuff. Trees were given meaning, they were treated as gods and were worshipped.
We all are aware of the concept of the Tree of Life, other examples (according to Wikipedia) of tree worship across different religions are the Banyan tree and Peepal tree in Hinduism, the Tree of Knowledge in Christianity and Judaism, the Bodhi tree in Buddhism and the Christmas tree in Germanic mythology.
To think that trees are only here for us is kind of selfish, it's good to know that trees have held so much importance in the past so why not give them the same now? Not for our own purpose but for them.
