Simply use nature\u2019s thermal shield on the exterior walls of your home! And by that, we\u2019re talking about ivy creepers! Now ivy growing on the walls of your home is bound to give you those chills and creeps you usually feel down your spine when you see a haunted house with some of these. Ivy has also been blamed, unnecessarily for causing structural damage. Well, the guys at Oxford University sure think otherwise, stating that these plants actually protect homes!<\/p>\n<p>Ivy acts as a natural thermal shield, keeping the heat out. It also keeps the brickwork away from moisture and extreme temperatures. Ivy growing on walls absorbs pollution too, making the air around and inside your home easier to breathe. However, damaged buildings should keep the ivy away, since these creepers tend to enter cracks and widen them up, causing structural harm. So if your home is intact, and the sun\u2019s bothering you, just grow a wall full of ivy! <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Ivy2.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.greenlaunches.com\/entry_images\/0510\/17\/Ivy2.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"511\" class=\"mt-image-center\" style=\"text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;\"\/><\/span><\/p>\n<p>[<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sciencetech\/article-1278430\/Why-ivy-creeping-walls-home-actually-protect-building-thanks-thermal-shield.html\">Dailymail<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Want a beautiful green home, so green that Tarzan wouldn\u2019t mind living in it?
