Plants wasting energy?

By Mallory Coats People are always saying how planting plants is a good thing and that it cleans the air. But have you ever thought that they could be wasting energy? In dry places like Colorado its likely that you are wasting energy in your front yard. When people plant plants that are tropical or not tolerant to dry weather then it takes more water to water them and there is a higher chance that they won't live anyway. So a good way to say energy and water is by planting dry weather tolerant plants. :)
