IMPORTANCE OF PLANTS

Plants are essential to human life. They provide food, medicine, oxygen, and materials. Ethnobotany, the study of how different cultures use plants for practical purposes, helps us understand the relationship between people and plants. Through this, we gain a greater appreciation for plants and their role in supporting health and culture. 

PLANT BLINDESS

Plant awareness disparity is the tendency to not notice plants when compared to animals or buildings.  It is common to merge greenery into one background. This can lead to a lack of appreciation for plants and the false idea that plants don't do anything important.
