Simple plant planting makes energy saving and carbon reduction more "powerful"
How to improve the deterioration of the earth's ecological environment is a widely discussed and urgent topic in recent years. Billions of people on the planet need the concerted efforts of Qi Xin. Therefore, to protect the earth's environment and protect our homeland, we should start from ourselves. In addition to turning off the lights, turning on the air conditioner less, using environmentally-friendly tableware, reducing plastic bags, taking more public transportation and planting edible green plants as an organic cycle are one of the good ways to save energy and reduce carbon.
The negative energy of work is high, and farmers tamp on holidays.
In recent years, urban gardens have gradually emerged. The reason is that the life of urbanites is compact and busy. They are not only under great pressure to go to work, but also face various difficulties in life after work, resulting in negative energy wandering around at any time. As time passed, their mood was also low. In order to improve the quality of spiritual life and pay more attention to food safety and healthy diet, urban gardening has begun to be loved and valued, and many people have begun to try to be holiday farmers in cities.
The biomedical editorial team investigated the products related to urban gardening sold in various countries and analyzed them from the perspective of solving various planting difficulties. The following are the observations:
1. USA: Leaves of the City
This is a team company composed of plant scientists, engineers and food lovers in new york. The principle of selling their products is to bring a healthy and sustainable food system to the public. URBAN LEAF has launched a series of vegetable products, so that friends with windows at home can also become farmers.
The design team used a plastic-like test tube, and designed the size of the test tube to meet the caliber of a standard wine bottle, tea bottle or cold drink can, which contained soil and seeds, and left an opening on the side of the test tube as the growth space of plant roots. In addition, the most important point is that the overall design of URBAN LEAF has the concept of environmental protection, and its plastic test tubes can be reused. Just take the plants out of the bottle, clean the inside, put them in the replaced soil, and then let the plants grow.
When the test tube needs to be discarded, there is no need to worry about the plastic problem. The design team specially chose biodegradable plastic as the material of the test tube, so it can be inserted into the soil as compost after use, which is both environmentally friendly and convenient. Their first product is an environmentally friendly hydroponic unit specially designed for beginners. Using patented hydroponics technology, plants can water themselves, which is suitable for forgetful people who often forget to water plants.
At present, the seeds sold are vanilla seeds, lemon balsam, lemon basil, purple basil, Thai basil, calendula and other seeds. At present, the lowest price is $3 15 (about NT$ 447).

3. Taiwan Province Province: Urban green planting boxes are planted calmly.
Enterprises in Taiwan Province Province also smell that more and more people use balconies and corners to run home gardening. URBGREEN focuses on simple, clean and reliable home gardening, and its planting box GrowBox adopts bottom irrigation, referring to the absorption mode of trees drinking water directly from the groundwater layer, keeping the medium moist through the bottom water storage tank, and allowing plants to adjust the flow and extend the watering interval according to the weather conditions, thus realizing easy and convenient humidity management.
When planting potted plants, improper watering can easily suffocate the roots of plants, and proper water management is very important for plant growth. The way to judge the water quantity in the water storage tank of this product can be based on GrowBox's unique bright and lovely bee floating ball design, which can display the water level index and see the water level at a glance, so that planting killers with hand disabilities can also enjoy gardening fun.
URBGREEN adopts a square outer box with wooden inner and outer double layers, which not only allows plants to breathe easily, but also takes into account the natural appearance. The inner box is made of non-toxic PP material, and is made according to holes and structures suitable for plant growth, so as to isolate the direct contact between soil and water and the wooden outer box, and the wooden box is not moldy. GrowBox planting boxes are available in three colors and cost NT$ 2,080. The number of seedlings varies from 130 to NT$ 480.

The changes in human life and environmental ecology caused by planting should not be underestimated. Generally speaking, green planting can achieve the effects of greening the environment, reducing carbon emissions and protecting the earth. For individuals, caring for plants and getting along with them can improve physical and mental health and achieve a feeling of relaxation and healing. In addition, it can give full play to the maximum benefit of self-sufficiency and realize the concept of "growing your own food".
