You Can Now Grow Fresh Air

Thanks to 3 Miracle Plants, You Can Now Grow Fresh Air in Your Own Home 
 
If you're trying to get more fresh air, you might have better luck indoors. Kamal Meattle, the environmental activist who pioneered a project to create India's healthiest building, has good evidence to indicate that cleaner ambient air is simply a matter of growing the right plants inside. 

Three of them, to be exact.
Just like any other plant, these leafy green creatures absorb carbon dioxide and emit oxygen. But thanks to a few other properties, these three plants complement one another to mop up as much as 87% of indoor air pollutants within 24 hours.
🌱
How it works: Trees and plants absorb harmful pollutants by sucking them up through a network of tiny pores on the surface of their leaves. This system also siphons particulate matter — the tiny particles of liquid, metal, soil and dust that can pass through the throat into the lungs, along with the byproducts of fuel and many of the toxic chemicals used in building materials.
🌱
The 3 miracle plants
Areca Palm: Instead of splurging on a humidifier, you might want to try one of these. At its full height, this tall, leafy plant transpires up to a full liter (about four glasses) of water, warding off dry office air. The shrub also absorbs particulate matter, some of which can lead to heart disease, asthma and a host of other severe health problems, according to a NASA study.
🌱

Mother-in-Law's Tongue: While many plants inhale carbon dioxide and exhale oxygen during the day, this plant's long, dark leaves push fresh air into the environment at night, making it a good complement to the areca palm. It also absorbs nitrogen oxide, a fossil fuel and agriculture byproduct that accounts for 6% of all U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, and cancer-causing formaldehyde.
🌱
The Money Plant: Instead of another cup of coffee, you might want to give this plant a shot. Like Mother-in-Law's Tongue, the money plant sucks up formaldehyde and other building pollutants. It also absorbs benzene, an air pollutant found in car exhaust that can cause dizziness, drowsiness and headaches.
🌱
Try this at home (or work): Meattle used his plant wisdom to outfit his own building, a 20-year-old, 50,000-square-foot edifice in the most-polluted city in the world, New Delhi, India. He used 1,200 plants for 300 building occupants (which, at four plants a person, is considerably more doable than the numbers he recommended in his TED talk).
👇  🌱  👇

Any office building could implement Meattle's strategy by including clusters of the plants at the end of each row of cubicles, in the common areas and along hallways. In fact, clean air is one of the best way to combat Sick Building Syndrome, a vague but real illness that can lead to irritation in the eyes, nose and throat, skin irritations and neurotoxic or general health problems. Years of research have shown that better indoor air quality leads to healthier students and staff, better work and fewer skipped days at school or the office. Sounds like every boss's dream.

Yes some of these plants are poisonous to pets and children

But for those of you who are concerned about pets… SOME /Most  Pets will not eat poisonous plants they have a natural instinct to eat only things that are good for them. 

Children on the other hand eat anything because that is part of their learing process…I would keep all plants out of their reach.

15 House Plants You Can Use As Air Purifiers
This is really interesting. Although I have a doubt. shouldn't size and number of plants depend on number of persons AND size of the rooms ?
Probably yes. The number of plants he's talking about is what they have found to be effective in their environment. Someone in an area with cleaner air probably could be fine with quite a lot less plants.
Are these plants safe for cats?
Epipremnum aureum is very toxic, the other two are safe.
One comment: everything about the "money plant" or "pathos" is poisonous to eat. So be careful that small children and pets can not reach this plant for a nibble. One feedback: after watching this video I added 7 4 feet hight areca palms to the household and 3 2 feet "bedroom plants". My husband says he wakes up feeling better in the morning as a result. Cool!

💁Women Can Make Anything An Insult💁
K-Von 🙎‍♂️ Full Special
Women can make anything an insult, especially a compliment.  K-Von breaks down just how many skills women have that men don't have, and how they can get away with things men could never dream of.
Whether you're a fan of aging gracefully, skinny jeans or big muscles this full Dry Bar Comedy special form K-Von is sure to keep you laughing from start to finish. 
👇  📺  👇
😊 “You want to equal rights this is what it looks like” 😂 
😊😆😂🤣😅😭😁😀😅😁😂😀😆😂🤣😅😭😆😂🤣😅😊😄😁
K-Van's comedy proves that you don't need to rely on profanity or vulgarity to make people laugh. This style of comedy is more demanding, requiring wit, preparation, and well-crafted material. In contrast, comedians who use coarse language from the outset often take the easy way out. 🤣 He had the crowd roaring a few times... Without profanity... Nicely done sir!
I kissed my wife and told her “You are so beautiful to me” - she pulled back “why just to you?”
😅
 That double standard joke in the beginning about the difference between a man and a woman talking to the nephew/niece turning 18 was such a great start!
😮
  "That's right, R. Kelly, tell it to the judge."😂
😀
“Can you be totally starving and have no idea what you want to eat.” 
😀😂
"Meatballs, spaghetti, handguns.. forgetboutit,  whatever" Having an Italian girlfriend who has 5 brothers, this one left me in stitches. K-Von you're a global treasure
"Ladies DON'T be confused: These muscles will NOT defend you. These are for looks. They are designer muscles. Yeah!!! These are for STARBUCKS. They are not for Tai- Chi; they are for Chai-tea."
😅
Guy: "Your makeup looks so good"
Woman: "So I look bad without makeup?"
Guy: "Uhhhhh"

Indian Parents: "Very much so"
"I am so fat" 
"Naw, babe. You're beautiful." 
"I said I was fat... not ugly"
😀
"I yearn for true gender equality, I have no patience for one who talks about female privilege when it suits them and complains about someone 'not being a man' when its convenient"
😆 😂 🤣 😅 😭😀😅😂😀 😆 😂 🤣 😅 😭
