From Guest Blogger Melissa: Five Reasons Why Gardening is Good for the Environment

Protecting the natural environment is one of the most important things we do in our lives. Gardening is good for your health as well as for the environment. People who have a garden can get a chance to make a big impact on the environment either in a positive way or in a negative way. We should be very careful about the techniques and procedures we use for gardening because it directly impacts our family, the community, and the planet. Plants play a very important role in our day to day lives as they help to prevent global warming because they take carbon dioxide out of the air just to make energy for themselves and gives out oxygen.

Growing your own vegetables, flowers, herbs etc in your garden or in the environmentally sound way will cut down the bad practices to provide us with those good products which are fresher, healthier for us and also this procedure will impact the environment in the least negative way. The whole idea of gardening is to make the environment impacted the least or made better.  The 5 important reasons why you should go for gardening and it is good for environment mentioned below:-

Oxygen production

Plants and Trees don’t breathe oxygen as we humans do. Plants are totally opposite of humans and animals, plants take in carbon dioxide and put out oxygen due to this reason plants are good for people as well as animals because they make the oxygen that humans and animals need to breathe. Most of the plants largely uptake carbon dioxide and release oxygen during the daytime that is (photosynthesis) but in the night opposite process works, they uptake oxygen and release carbon dioxide (respiration). Plants like Areca Palm, Neem Tree, Aloe Vera, Christmas Cactus, Orchid Plants etc. These are the few plants who give off oxygen in the night as well, these plants are best for indoors.

Global Warming

Planting of trees helps to fight global warming. To do photosynthesis plants take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and help reduce the greenhouse gases warming the planet. According to recent research, plants have the power to cool down the warming through their own climate change response.  Trees and other plants are known for organic compounds in terms to stress-hack etc but not sure whether this affects the environment. Trees help to fight climate change whether you plant them around your home, property or in our national forest.  Plants absorb carbon dioxide and other pollutant particulate stores and then releases pure oxygen.

 Wildlife preservation

As we know forests are important same applies to wildlife preservation, wildlife is also important. Like forests, wildlife is a natural resource which helps in sustaining the ecological balance. Wildlife is beneficial from the economic and recreational point of view. Earlier, human interference was minimum as compared to the number of wild animals, wild animals were quite high. There were no problems at all of their protection or conservation. But now things have been changed, with the expansion of agriculture and other developmental activities and most important due to the greed of man, the number of wild animals became lesser and lesser. Preservation of Wildlife does not indicate that it should be a blanket protection for all floral species, it indicates a proper, judicious control over the multiplication of animals and plants, which will interact together to provide a systematic and proper environment to the human whose very existence is in peril today.

Organic gardening 

Organic gardening has many benefits, it helps to improve the environment and decrease the chances of accelerated disease in your family. It can provide mental and physical benefits, long-term money-savings also increase vitamin and minerals contained in your soil including other things. Organic gardeners protect the ground through techniques which are found in nature. Those are into the organic movement leads to living a cleaner, healthier and in a more earth-friendly way.

Additional recommendations

Most of the people who do not have gardens can plant trees at home. Because even planting a tree indoor can reduce stress and provide a valuable weapon in the war against rising levels of indoor air pollution. The new studies are finding them to be amazingly useful in absorbing potentially harmful gases and also cleaning the air inside homes, indoor public spaces, factories, retail outlets and office buildings. The houseplants will purify your homes or offices and the natural and easiest way to breathe fresh air.
