Benefits of Trees

Trees are literally everywhere. A tree is the most obvious and remarkable plant you will see when you venture outside. There could be on the side road, house, or park. Trees provide us with a multitude of environmental, social, and economic benefits which are an important foundation for a liveable and sustainable city. Most people are curious enough to understand about trees in a forest or trees in the park. So what benefit does trees can do for us?

Trees improve the urban environment. Trees help to reduce the ambient temperature in a city by transpiring and providing shade. They are also known to improve both air and water quality by absorbing pollutants, releasing oxygen, reducing ozone levels, and reducing soil erosion. Trees can serve as a windbreak. The more compact the foliage on the group of trees the more effective the windbreak.

Trees combat climate change. Nowadays climate change has become one of the headlines in the world. Excess carbon dioxide or carbon footprints are building up in our atmosphere, contributing to climate change. The increase in greenhouse gases in our atmosphere can lead to long-term weather changes such as warmer temperatures, rising sea levels, and more extreme weather events. Trees can absorb carbon dioxide, removing and storing the carbon while oxygen is back into the air. In one year an acre of mature trees can provide enough oxygen for 18 people.

Trees benefit our health. Urban trees and green spaces are beneficial to our physical and mental health. Parks and roads which are shaded by trees provide a conducive environment that encourages active lifestyles, such as physical exercise and active transportation (walking or cycling). It can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. Greater exposure to urban greenery can also lead to lower rates of depression, reduced stress, lower rates of ADHD in children, and an improved overall sense of well-being.

Trees are very beneficial. We can not live without trees, especially in the urban environment. Rich oxygen and green view in the middle of the city could be hard to find it. That shows that trees enhance community well-being. Save trees and trees will save society. Thank you for your time and have a nice day 😀. Let's go outside!

Leader Vs Boss

Some people might use the terms "boss" and "leader" interchangeably, but that's not entirely accurate. The truth is, some bosses are simply a boss. They have attained a position in the management section of the corporate pyramid. Those positions alone don't make them leaders. They are just pushing their employers while "sitting down". However, bosses can become leaders, and doing so should become a priority for those who want to effectively lead in the workplace. So, what is the difference between a leader and a boss? A boss refers to an individual who is in charge of the employee or an organisation. He exercises control over employees, assigns tasks, and duties to them, and is entitled to take decisions on some matters. There is no formal title like "boss" in the organisational chart, but the term indicates a person who is the owner or appointed as head of the organisation, department, or division. On the other hand, the term lea

About Phubbing

In the Digital Era, smartphones have become the number one priority in society. When it comes to our smartphones, nothing else in our lives gets as much attention. A single notification can branch to half days only checking the status or short videos on social media. If we lose it, the stress starts to build up rapidly. Getting by without a smartphone really is not possible anymore, and from that other areas of our lives are bound to be affected. Phubbing describes the act of "phone-snubbing". It is a term that most people might not be familiar with, but the action is certainly one we all recognise. If we are going outside let's say, how often have we been physically in the presence of someone, but they're emotionally "not there" because they are absorbed in their smartphone? Quite a lot, isn't it? Smartphones and text messaging help partners display love and affection to each other when they are physically apart. However, what happens when smart

Early Birds and Night Owls

In this world, there are two kinds of people in this world, people who love to hear birds chirping in the morning, and people who wish the birds had a mute button somewhere. Someone likes the sun going up, someone likes the sun drowning to keep the night up. In other words, early birds and night owls. So, which one are you? Early birds or morning people. They are awake in the morning and love to welcome the new day. Early birds tend to go to bed early, wake up early, and feel their best as the day begins. As a general rule, early birds find a society more accommodating than night owls do. Early birds generally have an easier time adjusting to standard daytime schedules. On the other hand, night owls or night people tend to stay up late, enjoy sleeping in, have more energy at night, and feel tired after waking up early. Night owls do have a few downsides. They might have a harder time holding a traditional job. Young night owls might have trouble making a fixed school or univers
