The design itself doesn’t look like something high-tech. It’s sleek and elegant, a short vertical wall of green that looks like a modernistic planter. Behind the foliage, fans are churning out purified air that improves your air quality.
Specifically, plants have been purifying the air for a long, long time. Environmentalists say it’s trees and plants, not high-tech solutions, that will do more to repair the damage done to the planet over the last century. Green walls like this also create gorgeous décor for any space. And plants have been proven to increase health and even happiness when they’re added to home interiors.
Furthermore, pollutants cause scratchy throats, headaches, itchy eyes and a host of uncomfortable symptoms. According to the EPA, everyday pollutants in the air can lead to long-term health risks such as cancer, heart disease and respiratory disease. Purified air is the way to fix this. And nothing on the planet knows more about purifying air than the plants that have done it for millions of years.
