1000 Flowers for the Planet- #165 Keep Indoor Plants
Apart from looking attractive, indoor
plants offer quite a few environmental benefits that we probably overlook. One
of the most important is that they improve air quality. This alone leads to
lots of other benefits by improving the well-being of people, reducing illness
and helping to lower stress levels and negative feelings. In workplaces this
will further improve productivity. People will feel less tired from the effects
of carbon dioxide (what we breathe out) because the plants will counter-balance
the CO2. Higher productivity improves the bottom line for the business and
makes the boss happy. Less illness will lead to fewer days off work, further
improving the happiness of the boss (so much happiness!!). They also help
control humidity to within the optimum range for human health. When humidity is
too low we are more likely to develop viral infections. If it is too high we’re
vulnerable to other diseases.
All of this from a few pretty plants.
