Plants add a wealth of benefits to a workspace helping to keep staff healthier, happier and more satisfied with their jobs. And for the benefit of the company, making employees more focused and productive, creative and better able to problem solve as well as taking less time off sick.
Notably too the plants help to keep everyone calm adding to the benefits on many levels.
Plants work for longer than one day to bring you these benefits too!
What will you do to make yourself or your company greener on Environmental Day?
World Environment Day was first celebrated in June 1972.
This year’s World-wide theme is bio-diversity. We can protect ourselves, as well all species of animals and plants by becoming more sustainable in our consumption, looking carefully at not destroying natural habitats and how we expand urban areas, at pollution, at deforestation, global warming and being careful not to introduce ‘invasive species’.
Climate change is one of the biggest threats to biodiversity. (UN Convention on Biological Diversity). Approximately 2- - 30 % of plant and animal species assessed so far are likely to be at greater risk of extinction in global average temperatures exceed 1.5-2.5°C. (UN climate panel 2007)
Biodiversity contributes directly or indirectly to many aspects of our well-being, for instance, by providing raw materials and contributing to health. More than 60 per cent of the world's people depend directly on plants for their medicines.
