A greener planning for a healthy environment

As soon as green surrounds us, the quality of life will improve. However, it seems that greenery is receiving less and less attention. And you can do something about it!

De hoeveelheid groene beplanting zal uiteindelijk positieve gevolgen hebben voor de gehele bevolking. Denk aan de gezondheid, criminaliteit, economische- en onderwijsprestaties.

We know that the greenery that surrounds us, such as parks and gardens, makes a positive contribution to our quality of life. However, it seems that greenery is receiving less and less attention.

The government often faces enormous challenges in terms of progress in the field of local services. Not to mention that the greening of areas still needs to be considered! This can quickly make a green landscape a thing of the past.

The green effect

Plants do not only affect the quality of life. There are many more positive benefits of plants!

Health & Well-being

  • Door te kijken naar groen landschap kan er binnen vijf minuten een aanzienlijke vermindering van stress en angst worden bereikt. Ook dit kan wetenschappelijk bewezen door! We kunnen deze stressvermindering meten door positieve veranderingen in bloeddruk, polsslag, spierspanning en elektrische hersenactiviteit.
  • Ziekenhuispatiënten die op groen uitkijken lijken minder pijn te voelen en herstellen sneller. Opvallend: middelzware tot sterke pijnstillers worden met 25% minder aangevraagd in zo’n groene omgeving.

Climate change

If 10% more trees are added in cities such as Amsterdam, this will prevent a temperature increase of 4 degrees over the next 100 years. By ‘greening’ urban areas there will be a lot of time before the earth’s temperature really rises.

The workplace

  • Planten kunnen helpen om energiekosten in de zomer met 20% a 40% te verminderen. De reden hiervoor? Planten geven beschutting en schaduw, wat de behoefte aan airco verminderd.
  • De voorziening van groene zones rond een werkplek zorgt voor minder ziekteverzuim. Maar liefst 23%!

Crime

Buildings placed in a well-tended green environment appear to attract 32% fewer crimes.

Financial

Attractive gardens and the presence of trees in or near gardens can increase the value of property by 5 to 7%.

From ideas to action

Very nice and good all those positive effects. To really see these positive effects, action is needed. You too can set up a small-scale green action! Even though it is good to have something to hold on to.

It’s hard to get started, but with such a green planning it should work:

  • Stap 1: groen beleid opzetten
  • Stap 2: houd cijfers en effecten van de groene ontwikkelingen bij
  • Stap 3: evalueer de cijfers
  • Stap 4: verbeter de resultaten
  • Stap 5: zorg voor meer groen in de (eigen) omgeving
  • Stap 6: blijf stap 2 t/m 5 herhalen

Then we have only one thing to say. Good luck! And above all, have fun greening the environment.
