Gardens - The Best Pollution Controllers
|
Mining, rapid industrialization, over consumption, and over construction activities should
better be slowed down not to over dominate or mitigate the existence or importance of
ecology and environment, at least now! Being conscious that environmental regeneration
is the foundation on which human wellbeing and human existence will depend,
horticultural techniques should be utilized at all possible levels to bring back the nature to
its pure and luxuriant form.
Informal native gardens with hetero-cropping concept around the dwelling or official
places will hope to bring the human lives close to nature with uninterrupted supply of
four most important life supporting elements - non-polluted air, portable water, healthy
food and normal temperature.
To improve the environment, besides afforestation and reforestation programmes, urban
forestry and agroforestry simulating multi-tier forests are equally important to bring the
human ecosystems as close to natural ecosystems as possible. Horticultural plantation in
and around human habitats acts as windbreaks, rain water harvesters, fruit & vegetable
production centers, and basically aid in conserving soil, water and purifies air of
poisonous gases and particulate matter.
