From keeping the lights off when you don’t need them, to using small–scale wind turbines, to using solar panels, to planting trees, there are many different ways to improve the environment. For example: having a garden that flourishes with plant life will not only create a wonderful, fragrant ambiance, but the oxygen you breathe will be much more pure than common, polluted air.

When you are in your garden you will be able to breathe a healthier kind of air, the fragrance of garden plant – life is not only refreshing to the senses, but also better air. You are under a sort of separation from the pollution in the air that virtually everyone faces day–to–day. If you have a garden you have a healthier outdoor place to relax and unwind than public parks. Believe it or not, even a small garden is a contribution to the condition of the air around us. Plants, as most people know, create oxygen. Therefore, the oxygen emitted from the plants in your garden will improve the air quality around you. Considering the amount of pollution we know fills the air around us, people do small things every day that with any luck, will add up all together to protect the environment.

It may seem like a small gesture towards the improvement of our environment, but nonetheless, a garden can be like the five dollars you pledge to a cancer research facility. In many such efforts (the environment, Leukemia, Diabetes, etc.) it does not seem like much to give is not much but when there are enough people pitching in it can make a world of difference. Some public parks have joined in the crusade (whether intentionally or not) by planting trees, installing elaborate landscaping, shrubs and other foliage, vines etc. There are great parks springing up in certain areas in access, improving the beauty and reducing the level of air pollution around it.
