Without trees, we would be breathing unhealthy air and releasing significantly more CO2 into the atmosphere.

You may not have known that today is World Soil Day, but we want to celebrate how vital soil and green patches are to local communities.
Without soil on and near our roads, we would be more susceptible to flooding in the winter, as urban soil does an incredible job of collecting rainwater runoff.
