Next time you step out to your local farmers market (or favorite mega-store) be sure to grab a nice healthy plant to bring to your office. You’ll find that it not only brightens up your desk, but also has a few extra perks.

  • Indoor plants multitask just like you.  They act as filters that suck up all the pollutants created by your computer equipment while also cooling the air in your office.
  • Plants cool air through a process called transpiration that transfers water from plants into the atmosphere. This allows them to act like a natural air conditioner keeping the office a little cooler during the warm summer days.
