Urban Greenery - How it matters more to have trees planted in your own backyard

Green roofs and a balanced greener surrounding is now ever more so necessary given the need to immediately offset and balance out carbon emissions and have a healthier production of oxygen in the environment. It was always pointed out that we should plant trees, but while this is valuable, its efficiency in immediately improving our own immediate environment is not as effective as having greenery right where we are.

There is a more immediate need to balance out humans to plants per square meter in urban areas. There are still opportunities to use roofs, balconies, and even windows for plants. Green roofs, which has gained great popularity in US and Europe, was able to present through its case studies that it has helped reduce the hot island effect, increase oxygen levels, and even bring back avian species to the city. There are many more advantages to bringing in window plants (compliments of an advocate friend, Romana, in teaching me about it), roof gardens, and balanced plant ratio in areas with no plants. Many other places do take advantage of this concept and actually come up with community gardens as well.

It is strange enough that while we are completely knowledgeable about the benefits of having plants, we ignore and go otherwise. If we can take this opportunity to green our urban surroundings, and many advocates would love to do so, we can create a greener change.
