What's happening!

Have You Cleaned Your Air Today?

NASA once reported that astronauts were having a problem with poor air quality on space missions. Through numerous experiments in a two-year study, scientists not only concluded that houseplants were by far the best way to cleanse the air, but they were astonished at how efficient they were in performing the task. So, how does it work? Through photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide and give off oxygen. During this process, they also absorb toxins, mold, and bacteria that are eventually deposited in the soil or stored in the plant’s cells. The end-result is not only cleaner air, but also higher levels of oxygen, which improves brain function. Today, houseplants ride on every space mission. If plants are the best way to cleanse the air for NASA, imagine the benefits for your office, home or dorm room!

Is this not an amazing product of nature! I'm not talking about some altered, mutated, genetic phenomenon -- this is all natural! Sometimes the most advanced discoveries are just realizing that the answer is already right in front of you. Think about this: In today's world, with all of its technological advances, scientific studies and specialization, the best way for NASA to cleanse the air in a space ship is to incorporate plants. Does that not say it all?

What a great present a blooming, healthy plant would be for your favorite college student. Your child or grandchild would think you are giving them a gift to make the dorm room or apartment feel more like home, and you will know you are giving them air freer of toxins and an increased oxygen level enabling them to think better. Wait a minute; maybe we all need more houseplants!
