How are plants conserved?
Answers
If you have a big enough garden, plant trees, for they can cool your homes considerably.
Select appropriate plants to suit your garden and the climatic conditions. Your local nursery or horticultural society can help you.
If your garden is too small for trees, have plants and creepers instead. Every green plant helps to reduce the carbon dioxide we are letting out into the atmosphere.
Garden plants are better than a lawn for absorbing carbon dioxide. So when you plan your garden, opt for extra space for plants rather than for a lawn.
If your city or garden lacks water for gardening, plant drought-resistant plants like cacti, flowering shrubs, etc.
If you live in an apartment, grow a terrace or balcony garden using potted plants.
Window boxes can be used to grow small flowering plants which also add to the beauty of your apartment. Try and use discarded materials to make your boxes.
Keep indoor plants in the house, they can lessen indoor air pollution.
Compost your leaf waste to avoid use of chemical fertilisers.
Do not present flower bouquets. Instead, give a potted plant and encourage your friends to grow plants.
Start a tree planting programme in your area. Plant on roadsides, in parks, in schools, factories and home.
If you see trees being cut down on the street, report it immediately to the concerned authorities. Most environmental problems arise due to public apathy.
