Seven Things Consumers Should Know About Green Spaces
The following is a interesting article that I found on www.projectevergreen.com:
Green spaces have special benefits for each and every American:
1.
Cooling: 8 average front lawns have the cooling effect of 70 tons
of air conditioning. As overwatering is a much bigger problem than
underwatering, automatic irrigation systems, where possible, should be
considered for the most efficient watering rates.
2. Cleaning:
Properly maintained shrubs, plants and lawns are environmental heroes.
Because of their filtering capability, plantings prevent soil erosion,
filter contaminants from rainwater and absorb dust and soot.
3.
Saving Money: Planting shade trees lowers attic temperatures by as much
as 40 degrees and landscaping aids in reducing air conditioning costs
by up to 50 percent.
4. Increasing Home Value: Not only can a
well-maintained landscape add up to 15 percent to a property's value,
when selling a home, landscaping can speed the sale by as much as 6 weeks.
5. Reducing Noise: Landscaping can reduce noise by up to 50 percent.
6.
Healing: Horticulture is therapeutic and improves quality of life.
Studies illustrate that hospital patients whose rooms overlook
landscapes recover faster and require less pain medication than
patients without a view of nature.
7. Increasing Air Quality: A
tree removes carbon dioxide from the air and releases enough oxygen for
a family of four to breathe for a day.

On their Way...
Such activities need to be encouraged & promoted.
When I was in South Africa, these kind of trash were burn, those people are not concern about the pollution & green house gas issues for their actions.
It is our duty to protect our environment & for the future of our next generation & beyond.
