* Landscaping with grass, trees and plants reduce soil erosion. This is a major cause of water pollutions because of pesticides, fertilizers and sediment.
* One tree removes 26 pounds of carbon dioxide from the air every year. It can also produce enough oxygen for a family of four to live on.
* Trees absorb as much as 85% of the sun’s direct heat.
* Proper selection and placement of plant material can lower heating and cooling costs by as much as 20%.
* Shrubs, turf and trees reduce noise pollution by up to 50%.
* Eight average front lawns have the cooling effect of 70 tons of air conditioning.
* Trees can reduce power demand by as much as 59%.
* Plants, trees and grass fight pollution and provide storm water control and shelter for wildlife.
* Healthy lawn turf is a strong asset in fire prevention.
* One large tree can absorb as much heat as several window air conditioners and can lower temperatures by 10 degrees.
* Temperatures around grassy landscaped areas are about 25 degrees cooler than around dead grass or concrete “heat islands”.
Hope It will help you Guy.
