Green Pigments: why do we find green so pleasing and how does it affect us?
This is not a clickbait scheme, yo.
Productivity is one of the elements that attracts people on a large scale. To increase productivity is to increase efficiency. There are thousands of people using hundreds of apps to be productive whereas there’s a simple method which doesn’t only create an environment that produces efficient productivity but also keeps the ecosystem healthy as well as sustains life on earth.
Using greenery can be a simple yet efficient method of increasing productivity. Plants make your working environment more welcoming. ‘According to a study carried out in the Netherlands and the UK, bringing plants into a working environment increased productivity by 15%’ -says asia.clickandgrow.com . Increase in productivity means finding a purpose, energy, drive to fulfil the task ahead of you. Not only that, working in a plant-filled environment refreshes mind and increases concentration, boosts creativity and makes space for new ideas to built.
It seems like you can be a productivity geek by planting more plants, soon we will see your name in the headlines, I’m telling you :))
Moving on, plants are our main supplier of oxygen. When we inhale oxygen it reaches the blood stream (there’s a more vast science behind it), we call this blood - oxygenated blood. When Oxygenated blood travels all the way to our brain, it facilitates verbal cognitive performance. It also increases mindfulness, encourages positivity & improves sleep. Likewise, ‘Plants bring feelings of vitality and improve the state of mind. The subliminal effect of plants has an effect that lifts the spirit and brings happiness. An environment that includes natural elements and plants brings a positive outlook on life and boosts people into feeling more alive and active.’ - plantscapers.com informs.
‘Energy in the brain is generated almost exclusively from a form of metabolism that requires oxygen. However, neurons only maintain a small reserve of energy and these cells require a continuous supply of oxygen, especially when the cells are firing and communicating with their neighbors. In fact, the brain’s oxygen demands are enormous; despite comprising only 2 percent of the body, our brains consume 20 percent of the body’s oxygen supply.’ - says urmc.rochester.edu
Environmental impact:
Greenery in the ecosystem increases percentage of oxygen removing carbon di oxide, leading to a better health equipped society. In addition to that, it decreases air pollution, conserve natural resources as well as removes environmental toxins. It also reduces flood, protects wild animals, in facts its inhabitants are animals of different species. It keeps our ecosystem balanced.
HOW CAN WE INCREASE GREENERY IN THE ENVIRONMENT?
To increase number of plants we need to plant trees and green organisms religiously, regularly. Lets say, we have successfully planted a tree, you are feeling extremely important to the society (delusional, lol) but for the next few days you completely forget to take care of the plant, to water it daily, to change its soil, add organic fertilisers when necessary, to chip off dead leaves, to allow it to absorb enough sunlight for the production of oxygen, then there’s no profit to this act instead more harm is being done.
You can also join Plant based non-profit organisations to promote planting trees, doing community service to plant trees and prevent deforestation.
To conclude, day by day plants and trees are updating our standard of living, promoting economical growth, shaping better mind, increasing efficiency and a myriad of other components necessary for living.
All of a sudden, waking up in the middle of a forest doesn’t seem like a bad idea ;)
