Plant Trees To Protect Yourself

 

This is not exactly an new idea but you can protect yourself by living in a neighbourhood where there are a lot of trees growing as they help to moderate the temperature keeping it cooler on scorching summer days and also eliminate much of the pollution surrounding us – something than can be critical if you or a family member suffers from things like asthma.



The July 13, 2010 of ENN Community trees native to an area not only grow much easier but also provide much needed shelter for birds and other wildlife but also help to prevent flooding by absorbing the excess water to rainy weather, reduced air pollution (including noise from nearby highways or industrial equipment).

You can protect your young children who suffer from asthmas by living in such neighbourhood. Studies in England, according the quoted Woodlands Trust, say that while some 15 per cent of young children in that country researchers have also found out that for every 340 trees planted in a square kilometre the number of young asthma suffers drops by a quarter.

So if you don't already living in area that is surrounded by trees and can't move to such a neighbourhood it wouldn't be a bad idea to plant some native trees around your property. It not only enhances your land but also help to protect your health and health of your loved ones – as well as the neighbourhood itself.



If you live in some strata complex in a condominium or other dwelling where it is hard to plant trees in the ground around your home the are other ways to do this such as planting the trees in pots or planters.  Your local landscape supply or gardening supply store should be able to help you out with idea about this.


There are says, for instance to control the height of trees that would normally grow very high by selective pruning of the top and other branches. I can't think off hand about the name of the gardening art that deals with this, but the technique is very similar to those used by those who specialize in growing miniature trees using "bonsai" trimming techniques.


Surrounding yourself with trees and other pollution fighting plants can be achieved even if you are a person who spends a lot of time indoors. 


If that is your problem you can also get small indoor trees and other plants to help to create a relaxing atmosphere inside yourself – as well as absorb much of the indoor pollution – which, as you know, can actually be much greater than what you find outside.
