Green Tip - #5

Who doesn't like plants??

Indoor plants can play an important role in your work environment. Plants are not only make a space more comfortable & attractive, but also act as a natural air filter. They absorb airborne pollutants and computer radiation while also replenishing oxygen levels. Plants also act as an air-cooler (through the evaporative process called transpiration). They help protect you from the germs from your colleagues and reduce fatigue, sore throats, coughs, and other cold-related illnesses. They also have a measurable effect in reducing stress levels...who doesn't need that?!

We have always loved plants at Concept Design Studios. We have had everything from bamboo to venus fly traps! Mostly we like the comfortable atmosphere they create, but we have come to appreciate their environmental & personal benefits! If you don't have a green thumb, get plants like Ivy & Bamboo that are very low-maintenance.
