Poor air quality is associated with the energy and manufacturing sectors. A possible solution is to apply systems-thinking practices, such as Permaculture to land-use and energy challenges. Forests, which are integral to permaculture sustainable designs, have a significant role to play in purifying air naturally.

Everything on earth, animate and inanimate, is part of the global sustainable picture. You are part of this larger picture. If you want to leave a sustainable earth for future generations to enjoy perhaps talk to a child about their dreams and aspirations. Or talk to a tree. For trees are generous, social beings. And many of them have been around for thousands of years…
