Trees are essential for the existence of humankind and are one of the greatest sources of oxygen on earth. Where on one side we are facing the dangers of global warming and a decrease in oxygen levels in the atmosphere, there are plenty of trees that hold the entire planet together by supplying sufficient oxygen to all living organisms.The benefits of having an indoor or outdoor home garden cannot be overstated. They are the source of fresh, healthy food and ingredients, a place to get some peace of mind, a way to reconnect with nature, a hobby that can fill up the dull hours and most importantly, they are the instigators of healthy living. With the rising level of pollutions, the air around is deteriorating day by day. This increases the chances of diseases like asthma, sinus, bronchitis, and many other breathing problems. While the government and other health regulatory bodies are working on the best possible solutions, individuals have to take steps in control to help the pollution levels go down. One can not avoid the pollution and inhaling toxic substances, one can still make sure sufficient supply of clean air and oxygen indoors with indoor plants.
