World Environment Day: Role of Parks


Calling all nature lovers, Happy Environment Day!


Let’s start with this : What’s your favourite environmentally friendly activity?


Options:

1. Recycling and Composting

2. Using Public Transport, Biking, or Walking

3. Planting Trees and Gardening

4. Reducing Plastic Use

5. Participating in Local Clean-Up Events

6. Conserving Water and Energy at Home


It’s time to reflect on our eco-friendly habits and inspire others to adopt similar activities.


Walking in nature is mine and here’s why:


Parks are often considered the lungs of a city, and for good reason providing numerous benefits:


Environmental Benefits

Parks play a crucial role in improving air quality. The trees and plants in these spaces absorb pollutants like carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide while releasing oxygen, making the air cleaner and healthier to breathe.


Health Benefits

The presence of parks in urban areas is linked to numerous health benefits. Access to green spaces have shown good signs of reducing stress, improve mood, and enhance overall mental health. Parks provide a vital space for physical activities too - walking, jogging, and sports, which are essential for physical health and well-being.


Social Benefits

Parks serve as social hubs where community members can gather, interact, and build relationships. They offer a space for cultural events, recreational activities, and leisure, fostering a sense of community and belonging.


Parks do have economic benefits too. For example, a well-maintained park increase property values in surrounding areas and can attract tourists, contributing to local businesses and services.
