Unaccounted Benefits of Nature services

When the day is too hot, people could rely on their heaters and air conditioners to remain comfortable. However, this comfort does not come without a price. These services are not free, they are paid for it, and it is quite expensive. On the other, a variety of services provided by nature could sustain-ably supplement these cost. The importance of nature-based solutions such as tree sheds to provide sheds, and the different sounds and music from the birds and variety flowering colours and scents to give you every great pleasure cannot be overemphasized.

The landscape of Hanoi Botanical Garden is comprised of a mix of different trees and bird that provides a variety of sheds and sounds for every comfort in hot a day. From the music of the different birds to the variety of sheds and patches, this landscape provides a priceless worth of relaxation and comfort. The garden provides different flowering colors and variety of sheds for every comfort. It is an epicenter of relaxation, when the sun is burning, an experience of dining with nature. The beauty and the serenity of this ecosystem provides not just happiness for many people, especially visited but it is a shelter doom in a sunny day.

 The beauty of this ecosystem could be better appreciated when the day is hot and the cost of paying for electricity to get some comfort. As I walk true the streets of Hanoi, my next bus stop was a shed provided by a tree. I can imagine the discomfort and the stress without any sheds or trees. But the question is the cost of electricity sustainable compared to nature, and how can the supply of these goods and services by nature be valued? There is a popular maxim that says, when something is free, abuse is inevitable. Nature provide a variety of services that makes you comfortable in a sunny day, which is less accounted.

Ecosystem-based solutions have been shown to be efficient and effective to provide sustainable solutions. However, how can these services provided by nature be valued. In context to climate change, the days ahead could become hotter, and people could expect to pay more for electricity, and fuel for comfort. The drive for comfort could lead to emission of more greenhouse gases, which in the first place is the cause of the problem. This explain the value of the diversity of nature.

The nature-based solutions could be more sustainable with a good accounting system. This will adequately value the contribution of nature to keep us comfortable.
