Path to green buildings (Part 1)

“Green building”, “Sustainable development” are common phrases which we are so familiar that we even don’t feel strange to hear. It seems to be a far-fetched theory with some sparking spots in our country (with the emergence of some green buildings), just like the stars which are the essence of the sky that we cannot easily touch. Strikingly, one different point that can be seen is that stars are out of reach but many physical things existing around us such as our house, our office can be touched and fixed. So why you don’t try to grab them and transform these “impossible” concepts into the direction you aim to.

You might wonder why we have to be “green” when thousands and thousands of people talk about it. Actually human beings tend to wish for the best thing to happen. That’s why basically we all want to but whether we can do it or not is another issue. Below are some suggestions to be applicable to turn your “green” ideas into reality, just by changing your thoughts and actions

The first and simple step is to try greening your house and office. Planting trees not only helps improve the indoor air quality but are also beneficial for occupant’s health and psychology. The current demand of green landscape witnesses a dramatic increase, followed by the appearance of vertical garden, various kinds of trees, fruit trees and vegetables, etc. especially in the temporary context of air pollution and food safety. This natural remedy can aid in alleviate the “stress” load and bring more added profits.

Selection of trees in the garden or outside will be a bit easier. You can choose a diversity of trees and vegetables provided that its quantity and types of tree are suitable to the pedology and can meet the occupant’s demand in order to maximize the positive effect on their health and emotion. During the adoption process, please avoid to have trees withered or adhered to dust because it will then become a perfect settlement for insects, resulting in some types of allergy diseases. Therefore, to protect our family please keep your plants clean-lembed without any pests. 

In case you want to have a tree planted inside your house or office, you must be more cautious about a few types of trees. Normally, you need to investigate elaborately their functions beforehand because trees have both inherently good features and considerably bad impact on us in several habitats. Especially if you want to adopt a flowering plant indoor, please choose any trees with less or no pollen to prevent from dust and allergy.
