BETTERLIFE|| Vertical Gardening: Combat Climate Change, End Global Hunger

Gardening adds years to your life and life to your years. – Unknown

Should you even bother to grow your own food? Definitely YES!

You see, food insecurity is a global problem. In the years to come, more and more foods should be produced to feed Earth’s population. Gardening is also the best way to get healthy, nutritious food especially today that most of the commercial fruits and vegetables can be loaded with chemicals and pesticides.

Why Vertical Garden?

Vertical gardening allows us to utilize building walls and perimeter fences to plant our herbs and vegetables.

It can be build easily and does not even require major renovations. Aside from maximizing limited space, vertical gardens are also aesthetically appealing.

We can also minimize the damage to plants due to pets and pests when plants are raised off the ground.

Environmental Benefits Vertical Gardens

Vertical Gardens efficiently utilize water due to its design. This set-up takes less water compared to the traditional gardens.

Vertical gardens improve air quality due to the fact that plants are natural filters. Having a vertical garden means that the air you breathe is much cleaner and healthier.

Perhaps one of the key benefits of vertical gardens is the fact that they can help lower temperature to several degrees. This means that you do not need to turn on air conditioning on warmer days thereby saving money on electricity bills and reducing greenhouse emissions.

I encourage all Steemians to start setting up your vertical gardens now. We are solving two major global concerns in this one simple solution.
