Greener front gardens could help combat air pollution and heat
Original: Greener front gardens could help combat air pollution and summer heat
Replacing paved front gardens with planting could reduce air pollution and lower temperatures during summer heatwaves, according to a report covered by The Guardian. Adding greenery such as hedges and plants to front gardens absorbs pollutants and provides cooling, while paving over them worsens urban heat. Gardeners and environmental commentators are urging households to swap concrete for vegetation.
Why now: Concern over summer heatwaves and urban air quality is prompting renewed attention to greening residential spaces.
