Open Spaces enable numerous ecosystem services leading to social, aesthetic and economic
benefits to populace inhabiting urban areas. The ecosystem services include urban biodiversity,
natural drains for storm water and flood attenuation. Parks and greenbelts act as sinks for carbon
dioxide and counteract the urban heat island effect of large built-up areas. Urban forests in the
tropical region are known to absorb 200-300 tons of carbon per hectare per year and as such
represent a huge potential for climate change related mitigation benefits. Urban parks, gardens and
natural landscapes are conventionally better known for their intangible social benefits however
increasingly the tangible benefits are coming to the fore e.g. A recent study estimated the total
environmental economic value of Beijing’s urban forest to be around 19339 million Yuan. Out of this
fruit, timber and fuel wood accounted for only 15.66 % and rest was composed of new value sources
such as carbon dioxide sequestration, oxygen emission, rainfall interception, dust retention,
biodiversity conservation etc.

Reusing is an approach to individuals for the rubbish issues. Consistently Indonesia produces no
less than million ton trash. The trash is sent to landfills, where a large portion of them dirty the area and
air. As an aftereffect of reusing, rubbish that would have been discarded are reused rather in new items.
