Its been said many times and more others proven that to go in the sun without pretection can cause you some serious skin damage.

The UV rays can harm your skin in just minutes even when you can't see, but you'll get to feel it later. Thats why here are some tips:

·        Try to put on sunscreen before you go outside to get full protection. And remember to reapply every 2 hours, more frequently if you are in water.

·        Always use a sunscreen with sun protection factor (SPF) 15 or higher. The higher the SPF number, the higher the protection.

·        Put a thicker layer of sunscreen on the most exposed body parts: arms, legs, neck, back and face.

·        Protect your lips with sunscreen lip balm.

·        Avoid using sunscreen on babies younger than six months—use hats, clothing and shade for protection.

·        Think about using cosmetics that contain sunscreen. Even these should be at least SPF 15.

·        Choose a broad spectrum of products that guard against the sun's ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB) rays.

Other ways to protect yourself include:

·        Clothing: Shirts and pants made from tightly woven fabric offer the best protection.

·        Hats: To get the most protection, wear a hat with a brim that shades the face, ears and back of your neck.

·        Sunglasses: They protect your eyes from UVA and UVB rays and lower cataract risks.

·        Shade: Get under an umbrella, tree or anywhere else with shade.

Getting sunburned or tanned could be a red flag about your skin's health. When you're in the sun, make sure to slather on some sunscreen and reapply after being out for more than two hours to keep beauty—and your health—skin deep.

The Best Time To Water A Plant

The best time to water plants is usually in the early morning, both to maximize the efficiency of water used and to promote healthy flora.

Mornings tend to be cool and without strong winds, so the amount of water lost to evaporation is much less than during the middle of the day. Yes, evenings are typically similar, but if plants stay damp overnight they are more likely to be damaged by fungal and bacterial diseases. Ideally, use a drip or soak system instead of a regular sprinkler, which wastes a lot of water and drenches the leaves, which are prone to damage as well as disease.

Most experts recommend substantial, infrequent watering for established plants, typically a total of about one inch of water per week (including rain). One or two applications a week encourages deeper rooting, which promotes stronger plants. To avoid shocking tender greenery, try to use water at or near air temperature (collected rainwater is best).

With population growth and climate change putting increasing pressure on freshwater supplies, it is becoming more important than ever to save water.

How Much Oxygen Does One Tree Produce?

When is it a fact trees are important for our survival, many people wonder of how much really a tree can contribute to the human species. Trees produce oxygen which is what humans inhale as well as they inhale carbon dioxide which is what humans create. The trees need us as we need them. We both wouln't be able to survive without the other. The amount of oxygen produced by a tree depends on several factors, but here are some typical calculations.

The atmosphere of the Earth has a different composition from that of other planets in part due to the biochemical reactions of Earth's organisms. Trees and plankton play a big role in this. There are different answers for this and many people who have come to different answer but the truth is a tree is plays a mayor role in the survival of more than 1 human. The amount of oxygen produced by a tree depends on the species of tree, its age, its health, and also on the tree's surroundings. According to the Arbor Day Foundation, "a mature leafy tree produces as much oxygen in a season as 10 people inhale in a year." Here are some other quoted figures regarding the amount of oxygen produced by a tree:

"A single mature tree can absorb carbon dioxide at a rate of 48 lbs./year and release enough oxygen back into the atmosphere to support 2 human beings."

- McAliney, Mike. Arguments for Land Conservation: Documentation and Information Sources for Land Resources Protection, Trust for Public Land, Sacramento, CA, December, 1993

"One acre of trees annually consumes the amount of carbon dioxide equivalent to that produced by driving an average car for 26,000 miles. That same acre of trees also produces enough oxygen for 18 people to breathe for a year."

- New York Times

" A 100-ft tree, 18" diameter at its base, produces 6,000 pounds of oxygen."

- Northwest Territories Forest Management

"On average, one tree produces nearly 260 pounds of oxygen each year. Two mature trees can provide enough oxygen for a family of four."

- Environment Canada, Canada's national environmental agency

"Mean net annual oxygen production (after accounting for decomposition) per hectare of trees (100% tree canopy) offsets oxygen consumption of 19 people per year (eight people per acre of tree cover), but ranges from nine people per hectare of canopy cover (four people/ac cover) in Minneapolis, Minnesota, to 28 people/ha cover (12 people/ac cover) in Calgary, Alberta."
