We all want clean air to breath whether we believe in
climate change or not. We think we have clean air in our homes and if not we
just open the window and let some “fresh” air in. Unfortunately there can be
all kinds of pollution in the air in our homes. One we have too much of is
formaldehyde for the insulation in our homes.
Now you can go out and plunk down some money on an air
purifier that works and helps to keep your air clean but not only are they not
cheap they have to have energy to run. A natural alternative, Plants.
NASA ran a study on the best air purifying plants, which can
be found here.
I chose to go with the rubber plant since it would need the least amount of
work and survive the best in my home. I picked up a 10 inch at Home Depot for
about $12. And if I can keep it alive I’ll buy one for each floor of my house

A word of caution with rubber plants: their leaves can be
toxic so watch pets and toddlers around them.
