Trees, plants and shrubs can help you make a world of difference in the environment. Plants are nature's air conditioner. Just remember what you learned as a child; plants take in carbon dioxide and release life-giving oxygen. Trees, plants and shrubs not only purify the air, but they can increase the value of your home while reducing your electricity bills. Plants like azaleas, spider plants and diffenbachias are natural air conditioners. Plants improve the quality of indoor air by removing oxygen-absorbing toxins emitted by insulation, carpeting and paint. To purify indoor air, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) recommends placing one plant per 100 square feet of your home's floor plan. Planting shade trees close to the south and west sides of the house (approximately 10 feet away from the gutter) will lower air conditioning costs. According to the Forest Service, trees are more effective than other types of vegetation at keeping the soil in place. Planting dense, healthy grass slows and filters run-off and traps soil allowing fresh, filtered water to return to the underground water supply.
