SUSTAINABILITY BENEFITS IN LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE

Health Benefits of Nature

Spending time in nature can make you feel better.
Many of us have an anecdote of our own or from friends or family that supports that idea of sustainable design.
People who are suffering from stress, sickness, or a trauma can spend quite contemplated time in gardens or taken to the mountain or woods to heal.
Nature is not just wilderness. The benefits of nature can be found in our communities parks and green spaces.

Community Design (Climate Change)
The primary cause of climate change of climate change is increasing concentration greenhouses gasses (GHGs), especially carbon dioxide (Co2) in the atmosphere.
The 2007 Assessment Report of the IPCC indicates that GHG emitted as results of human behavior, such as burning fossil fuels to produce energy.
There are a range of landscape architecture base mitigation strategies that, if employed at mass scale, can help reduce GHG emissions by 50-85% and limit the temperature by 2 Celsius.

Sustainable urban development

Urban development should be guided by a sustainable planning and management vision that promotes interconnected green space a multiple mortal transportation system and mixed use developments

Green Infrastructure

Nature can be harnessed to provide critical services for communities, protecting them against flooding or excessive heat, or helping to improve air and water quality, which underpin human and environmental health.

Water Efficiency

Due to reoccurring drought conditions worldwide, using potable (drinkable) water for landscapes is increasingly unviable.
Homeowners often wastefully irrigate their lawns with water than should be reserved for human consumption
Homeowners can promote the infiltration, storing and recycling of water, and limit the use of valuable potable water for landscapes

Maximum Benefit of the Plant

Plants are central to a functioning global ecosystem.
Plants oxygenate the atmosphere and reduce atmospheric pollutants.
Reforestation in both developed and developing countries is a primary strategy for mitigating the effects of man-made greenhouse gas emissions.
However, plants are not the only key to the global ecosystem, but also crucial to human health.
