Paris COP21
This week in Paris, global leaders are coming together to decide on a plan to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions internationally.
Although this may seem distant, we can recognize as lovers of gardens and plants that we can play our part in climate regulation and reducing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. It’s important for us as individual gardeners to be aware that we are a part of a larger community of gardeners within Tokyo and the rest of Japan. Within this community, we can do a lot individually and together to help reduce emissions. Luckily, as garden lovers, plants can help with this by absorbing CO2… So let’s keep planting trees, shrubs and flowers and make Tokyo and Japan an even more beautiful place to live!
