Plant a tree or bush
Why This is Green
Trees and bushes are aesthetically pleasing, beneficial to the environment, and certain varieties even produce food. Depending on where you plant a tree or bush, you may even reap some home energy benefits. Trees and larger bushes can provide shade during the warmer months of the year and can reduce wind chills during cooler seasons.
Trees and bushes also purify the air, taking in carbon dioxide. How much depends on the size and kind of tree. This improves air quality in the vicinity of the tree and reduces overall carbon in the atmosphere. It’s enough to make anyone want to be a treehugger!
