Air purifiers
How much energy do you suppose air purifiers use? They are designed to run all day and night. I went home for the weekend and realized my mom has three in the house. She seems to think that the clean air is better for us. I do not know if these gadgets are any better than breathing fresh air from outdoor, but the weather is often too hot for most of the year to open the windows. I suggested to her that she try getting some house plants that would remove toxins from the air. And so we decided to look up what plant species would be effective at doing so. The website www.beyondjane.com listed several plants that will grow indoors. Among the list were gerber daisies, snake plant, rubber plant, and golden pothos, all of which I have seen at home improvement stores such as Lowes. The website also gives a brief explanation of plant care or the specific toxins each removes from the air. Do some research of your own if you are interested, and start saving some energy.

Hey! I'm not just pretending to keep up; my sister is also very conscious about the environment so much of what you are saying is making sense and is very accessible! It can be hard to sift through the rhetoric of 'going green' but your writing is really helpful!
ReplyDeleteAir Purifiers can improve your quality of sleep and health. An air purifier removes impurities in the air, which can cause health problems. An air purifier can reduce pollen in your home's air if you suffer from hay fever or allergies. If you or someone you know smokes indoors getting an air purifier should be a priority for you.
