Air purifying house plants

Green plants not only provide food for us in many ways, but also they play an important role in producing oxygen, which we can't live without, and purifying the air. Yes, purifying the air!!! Common house plants such as the "pothos or devil's ivy", "weeping fig", "snake plant" and "peace lily" benefit us doubly by producing oxygen AND purifying the air of toxins around us. How amazing! This phenomenon was even studied and confirmed by NASA. While I'm an advocate of technology, instead of buying expensive air purifiers, having house plants that naturally and organically purify the air seems best for our health in my opinion. Also, as these plants purify the air and produce oxygen for us, they also provide pure beauty and relaxation. I love green. These green plants especially make me feel peaceful. And the more green and luscious plants I see, the more I'm reminded of the Garden of Eden, God's glorious handiwork, and His beautiful royal creation. I'm also reminded of God's character in that He is really stylish, beautiful, and artistic. And of course, smart! So the more green plants you have around the house, the better off you will be. These plants will certainly help you improve your health! Who can say, "no" to clean air, fresh oxygen, and green beauty? Not me! :o)
