Growing Your Own Fresh Air

During our group project on Thursday while discussing ways to mitigate the health risks and effects of living near a highway I brought up this TedTalk that I had seen a year or two before. When I watched it again it was even more interesting and exciting than the first time. Now pairing my new knowledge of the health risks associated with poor air quality, it seems almost too good to be true that you can significantly improve building efficiency and air quality with a solution as simple and elegant as growing three common plants indoors. This video excites me because it shows the potential for people to start creating mutually beneficial relationships with plants to enhance their quality of life.
