SBA Green Team Tip of the Week (3/9/09)

Clean the Office Air with Plants

An old fashioned, low tech suggestion, kind of like Mom's chicken
soup.... house plants in the office

Start small by cleaning the air with plants. Use large plants in lobbies
to create a healthier indoor environment, but then spread that out to
employees. Each cubicle or office should house a plant or two. The
effect of plants on increased productivity is being studied.

Plant suggestions for the office include: Dracaena, Ficus, Philodendron,
Spathiphyllum and Diffenbachia. These plants remove toxins from the air
and offer a green relief from a sterile office.
