People nowadays keep calling for a greener planet so that the next few generations to come are able to enjoy the world we have today which is already deteriorating fast. Well, don't just call. Do it now. In my small garden, I have trees, shrubs and flowers covering every inch of ground. At the back patio, in a small 3' x 3' hole which was meant for a water feature, our housekeeper plants herbs.
In containers, I have more plants. And in 2 boxes and a jar, I am composting. I get coffee grounds from Starbucks to feed my plants and worms. We get horse dung from an equestrian club not far from our home. And the worms are nice and fat.
A plant seller who sold us the flame tree we planted in front of our house 10 years ago told us that a sizeable tree is like having 7 air conds in a room on a hot day.
Greening the planet? Start at home. NOW.
