The grass areas (garden) activation against the environment warming and CO2 reduction: a practical guideline

Abstract

Energy and transformation industry produce up to 52% of CO₂, while the transport companies and the forest deforestation contributes with the 32% of this gas. Gardens or areas covered with grass represents a source of oxygen generation and act as CO₂ traps through photosynthesis, a process in which the CO₂ is absorbed through the stomata, which are tiny pores, to be transformed into sugars through out of a light reaction with the hydrogen in the water and consequently the oxygen is released. The objective in this work is to recover grass areas or urban gardens through nitrogen application and irrigation to reduce the heating and the high CO2 content of the environment. The application of 900 grams of urea composed of 46% nitrogen is enough to reactivate an area of 4 m². With only 60 litres/hour with intermittent irrigation, an area of 4 m2 can be kept active and contribute to the oxygenation of the environment and get down the ambient temperature by 10°C.
