If humans are complaining about the heat, do you think other living things on the planet aren’t just as affected? Most of the time we only think about ourselves that we forget that other species living on the planet suffer just like us. What are they? Trees and plants, they all have to endure the heat and chill and everything else the elements throw at them as if they have any choice over the matter. The erratic weather makes it even worse as they have nothing to use to shield themselves from the rain, wind, sun, etc. However, their very existence also makes a world of difference to how well the planet copes to human abuse and misuse of earth’s resources. If you want to do something right, plant trees that can survive the sweltering heat of summer. Plant trees and plants that require little watering and attention. It is a misconception that all plants require the same amount of care and attention. Some are less demanding and can survive with little water even for days at a time. And best of all, you add more green to the planet when it is needed the most. When you look around you, you’ll see more concrete landscapes than natural ones and some kids haven’t even seen certain plant and tree species because there is no room for them in the bustling city.

They bring life to any space with the pop of green from them and they obviously help in cooling the temperature as well. They require little upkeep and is perfect for all busy city dwellers who juggle so much with their time. Watering it moderately is enough to keep these plants alive. They need not be exposed to sunlight all the time as well, so you can just let them be in a certain spot in your home and enjoy its beauty and the coolness it offers.

Especially during the first year, don’t neglect them as they can die on you too. They may be more enduring than most plants and trees but they need sunlight, water, and some sort of attention for them to thrive and be able to fend for themselves. Once fully grown, even individuals without a green thumb can grow them at home and not end up killing these plants in the process. Think of these plants when growing greens at home. They can be your own contribution to supporting the planet’s healing from all the things it has to endure now. Pollution is at its highest and resources are fast depleting. We can all pitch in and add more green even if the weather is such a bummer. Meanwhile, for trees with troublesome branches, hire professionals like http://www.allcleartree.com/trimming to have them trimmed rather than cut altogether. It is a better and far more acceptable solution rather than planting a new tree in its wake.
