How To Grow Fresh Air

We are thrilled to carry this fabulous book about how to purify your home or office. That's right, indoor air is often worse than outdoor air (the term Sick Building Syndrome corroborates). And given that on many days most of our time is spent inside, there's definitely cause to clean it up.

One way to do it? Plants!  That's right, by bringing plants inside, we can improve our air quality significantly. If you don't believe us, take it from NASA. Scientists there found that certain plants not only breathe out oxygen, but they also breathe in chemicals that are found in common items from carpets and sofas to kitchen cabinets and computer printers.

(Plants also make us feel better according to Green Plants for Green Buildings!)

This book, How To Grow Fresh Air, is written by one of those NASA scientists and contains 50 plants that will help you breathe easier indoors. And we've got this valuable resource on our shelves.

 For more expansive information on this topic, please come to one of our March workshops:

Non-Toxic Home Workshop Tomorrow Evening

Please join us for our Non-Toxic Home Workshop tomorrow evening at which Sustainability Coach Deborah will help you cultivate a healthy, non-toxic life, starting in your own home.

The Environmental Protection Agency confirms that indoor air is often more polluted than the air outdoors. And, as many of us spend up to 90% of our time indoors, addressing the air we breathe there is paramount, especially for little ones or people with breathing conditions or allergies.

You can get more of the scoop on indoor air quality from the EPA here.

In her signature supportive, positive, mindful style, Deborah explores indoor air quality and how to clean up the air we breathe inside.  Along with that, she'll teach participants how to address the most dangerous toxins in their homes and put you on the path to a safe, healthy, healing space for you and your loved ones.
