Loss of roadside plant diversity

What I read

According to "Plant 'thugs' crowd roadside flowers" (2018), the human have been using a lot of vehicle exhausts and also mowing which are decreasing diversity of the plants. Moreover, the plant diversity is falling and nitrogen deposition had increased. By the way, the charity Plantlife has been claiming and campaigning to reduce nitrogen levels.

My response 

In my opinion, I think the people nowadays they don't think much about plant extinction that will affect to our environment in the future. So I think if we just stop to think that all kinds of plants are very important for our global environment we should help it to not become extinct. But, we hardly make it to be possible from now to the next future because of the people have been increasing the  air pollution which reduce the plant diversity.

I do agree with the  charity that they try to campaign and claim to give precedence to plants diversity especially roadside plants by reducing air pollution and mowing which need a very good management.

I hope if everyone realizes about how to help our environment or plant diversity then we won't get much worry with the way to solve  the problem for our earth in the future.

  1. I think roadside plants are important because vehicles nowadays pollute carbon-monoxide and carbon-dioxide gases which plants can use carbon-dioxide in photosynthesis system to produce more oxygen. Moreover, the plants makes scenery more beautiful and makes driver relax while traffic jam.
    Pollution affects environment badly such as increasing Bangkok Total Suspended Particulate Matter to be higher than standard.

    1. I do agree with you, Chatt, because I like to live with the green place and good environment. Even if, roadside flowers which are many people usually overlook at it but for me I still think that they're very important for preservation of variety of plants.
