Context - Where are the concepts being applied?
Trees
Nature
Trees are often found in nature, ranging in size and age. They produce clean air and water, as well as offering shelter and fruit for a variety of animal species
Homes
People may plant trees in and around their homes to bring more nature into their lives
Public Areas
Typically planted in parks, streets, residential areas etc to bring greenery to people's lives and encourage biophilia, and also to provide clean breathing air to communities
Workplaces
Usually people's work may be tedious and stressful throughout the day, having plants and/or trees nearby can make a room feel less stuffy and reduce anxiety and stress
Nature-Based Solutions
Agriculture
Promoting local farmers and encouraging fair trade
Encouraging minimal waste produced in farming
Limiting the use of growth hormones in produce and livestock
Climate Change
Encouraging more people to use cleaner modes of transport eg. Public transport, bikes, electric cars etc.
Implementing stricter penalties against corporations which produce large volumes of harmful emissions
Ecosystem Restoration
Replanting trees in deforested areas
Protecting local wildlife
Lobbying against corporations that pose a threat to nature
Disaster Prevention
Investing in better building materials in disaster-prone areas
Building communities further away from potential disaster zones eg. Volcanoes, mountains, shorelines etc.
Civilisation
Encouraging sustainable practices in cities
Investing in more greenery in public spaces
Providing better education to encourage more sustainable habits
Sustainable Practices
