Essay:

This project done in Sydney was for the grassroots tree plantation (Tan Yigitcanlar et al, 2008) so that the excess of carbon di oxide can be removed and the quality of air can be improved and also the effect of GHGs can be reduced. In Melbourne this green street project can be successfully implemented for the quality air and to reduce the effect of GHGs. As in Melbourne because of lack of green trees and involvement of the high technology and long stories building creating the GFGs (St.Louis VL et al, 2000) and also the quality of air is not improved. This problem is in urban areas mostly. This will also save the water and that can be used for urban areas. The water can be saved in two different ways as follows: The tree wells will contain special soils that save water in two ways:

First, the mix of red lava rock and soil helps retain storm water that would otherwise run off directly into the City's storm drain, relieving burden off of the City's infrastructure system in the future. Second, trees and soil help filter out pollutants in storm water and prevent them from entering our precious Bay habitat.
