An article by Mr John Bird, a supporter of the Coalition for Sustainable Water Use.
One percent of water is used on our gardens, while 10% is wasted because of broken and leaking water mains.
Lawns cut and maintained at 50mm or more, provide three times more oxygen than trees and absorb three times the CO2 than Australian trees.
Green grass is an outdoor “climate control” able to lower ground temperature by up to 20 degrees.
Lawns of 240 square metres provide enough oxygen for a family of four a day (at ground level)
Grass acts as a dust and erosion filter for cleaner air and prevention of water run off.
Green grasses are a fire retardent, but dry burning grass adds tonnes of CO2 to the air.
As there are thousands employed in the horticulture industry, is it time for those who profess to be green to realise where the solution to global warming is.
We all want to do our part for the environment, and saving water is one of the first steps we can take to conserve this precious commodity.
A point to remember,
For “every millimetre of rain” that falls on “every square metre” of your roof “every hour” you collect “one litre of water”
If you have the storage capacity, and the piping is done correctly, you can collect thousands of litres of water, and the best thing, its all for FREE
Hello everyone,
Its Ken here, and I am actually writing my first post. I am still in the process of setting up our Plumbing Helpline Site. Over the next few days, I will be adding pages on each catagory of the Plumbing Industry. Although the site is still work in progress, I would really appreciate any comments you may like to leave. While I am in the process of building the site, still give me a call if I can help you out with any Plumbing problems or queries.
