Gardening has been more than a hobby for me, it is a part of who I am. When I was a young girl of about 6 or 7, my granduncle taught me to 'create' new plants using plant cuttings and growth hormones, since then I really enjoyed propagating my favorite plant varieties. As I grew older, my garden became my home as I spent my entire day tending to my plants. Doing a project on environmental pollution and another on sustainable development made gardening my most cherished hobby as I collected rare plant varieties, propagated them and shared them with my friends and other gardening enthusiasts.
Today, we see a rise in air pollution causing all sorts of health problems as well as increasing childhood mortality and reduced life expectancy. Global warming and climate change are not fancy terms. Today it seems that gardening should be taught to all school children and the green cover be increased everywhere. Increasing vegetation is the most important means of combatting air pollution and improving the air quality. We need lots of green patches everywhere in this world.
