Clean air starts with grass. Plants filter out pollutants, improving the quality of the air we breathe. As it turns out, grass is one of the most effective air purifiers around.
Grassroots act like a sponge that absorbs toxins from outdoor air and locks them away until they can be harmlessly released or broken down. Its leaves also trap fine dust particles, providing evidence that its capacity to purify our air is no exaggeration.
The benefits of clean air produced by grass are significant — ranging from improved respiratory health to lower levels of stress, fatigue, depression, and anxiety. That’s why it’s so important to increase grass cover in cities and towns as part of sustainable planning initiatives.
The carbon dioxide emitted by cars and industry can also be neutralized by green spaces like public parks containing lawns. Trees are especially adept at absorbing CO2, but lawns help too because they’re far more widespread than trees.
Apart from increasing the number of natural green spaces, we can also incorporate grass into our backyards and balconies to cut down on household emissions and make our local environment safer for everyone there.
