If not, than we recommend to read The Telegraph’s \u201c\ud835\udce6\ud835\udcf1\ud835\udd02 \ud835\udcea\ud835\udcf5\ud835\udcf5 \ud835\udcf0\ud835\udcea\ud835\udcfb\ud835\udced\ud835\udcee\ud835\udcf7\ud835\udcee\ud835\udcfb\ud835\udcfc \ud835\udcfc\ud835\udcf1\ud835\udcf8\ud835\udcfe\ud835\udcf5\ud835\udced \ud835\udcf5\ud835\udcee\ud835\udcea\ud835\udcfb\ud835\udcf7 \ud835\udcfd\ud835\udcf8 \ud835\udcf5\ud835\udcf8\ud835\udcff\ud835\udcee \ud835\udcf6\ud835\udcf8\ud835\udcfc\ud835\udcfc\u201d!<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Author <\/span>Bunny Guiness<\/strong><\/em><\/a> thinks it is \u201ctime to encourage the emerald invader rather than kill it\u201d! In the UK, there are \u201cmore than a thousand different species\u201d, and \u201cbecause of the range of types, you can find a species of moss to suit pretty much any conditions\u201d.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
For The Telegraph<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/a>, she spoke to her “neighbour Jon Graham, who is an ecologist and notable moss expert\u201d. He was \ud835\ude00\ud835\uddf5\ud835\uddfc\ud835\uddf0\ud835\uddf8\ud835\uddf2\ud835\uddf1 when she asked for \u201cthe best way to get rid of it\u201d as he \u201cpointed out that moss is teeming with biota (mini plants and animals living in it) that we are pretty much unaware of, but which are an important part of the ecosystem\u201d! And: moss \u201cis a fantastic carbon sink too\u201d!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Thus, \u201capparently half a sq m of moss can absorb a kg of carbon dioxide\u201d, a \u201cstaggeringly high amount, partly due to the surface area of moss being 30 times its size\u201d. In addition, moss also \u201ccools the environment, because its structure is like a sponge, sopping up moisture and then cooling the atmosphere as it evaporates\u201d. In this context, The <\/span>Telegraph<\/span> also considers \u201c\u2019Trees’ made of moss\u201d: We feel thrilled that Green City Solutions<\/span> and our smart moss<\/strong><\/em><\/a> filters are named among such impressive examples as Moss Clerks<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/a>.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>\n
\n
Bunny Guinness shared that Peter S\u00e4nger & Zhengliang Wu, the \u201cfounders of German-based company [\u2026] which has pioneered these \u2018trees’, point out that in addition to binding CO2, moss filters numerous other gases and substances that harm the climate\u201d. One of “these is soot\u201d, also called black carbon, \u201cwhich has an effect on global warming that is up to 1,500 times greater than that of CO2\u201d. Mosses are able to \u201cfilter such soot particles, which are present in the air as fine dust\u201d.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
The author calls to rethink the typical UK lawns and to \u201calso start to encompass a new appreciation of moss, as we realise what a fabulous resource it is to encourage.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
King Charles III uses the term \u201cmown green spaces\u201d for his lawns:<\/div>\n
\u201cHe relishes the fact that they are teeming with carpeting thymes, selfheal, many other broadleaves and moss, and so they rarely go brown in the summer as a result\u201d. \u201cAt Highgrove<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/a>, the King has developed a small moss lawn\u201d.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
