Planting More Trees In Our Community



Street, sidewalks, walkways, alley, public parks and playground areas, commercial lawns, and other public or commercial places are all subject for beautification. We all know that these public and or commercial spaces are always filled or being passed by people, so the person in charge of these locations have to make sure that they beautify or at least add accent for thee places to look more attractive and a nice place to unwind, just like the parks and playground areas. Planting trees or flowering plants in a main street premier planter makes the place totally different. Having plants in their right container, not only adds beauty to the location but it is also a way of giving back to mother nature. 


As we all know having more trees and plants around us, or shall I say having green spaces makes a total difference in our Environment and it greatly affects everybody too. They provide many benefit and advantages. More green space within a city's boundaries can improve the urban environment, it can help regulate air quality and climate and reducing energy consumption by countering the warm effects of paved surfaces. Trees in a parking lot can also reduce on-site heat build up, decrease runoff and enhance night time cool downs. There is really a big difference between shaded and unshaded areas. Trees, shrubs, and turf remove smoke, dust and other pollutants from the air.


A study shows that, one tree can remove twenty six pounds of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere annually, equaling to eleven thousand miles of a car's emission. Another study have shown that one acre of trees has the ability to remove thirteen tons of particles and gases annually. There are still many benefits of trees to us and to our environment, we should keep in mind that planting trees and shrubs reduced pollution, so every tree subtracted from the ecosystem means some particulate pollution remains that should have been filtered out. Let us love our nature more and our health as well, let us give back to mother nature by planting more trees and flowering plants in our community.
