These plants can clean your home!

1. Aloe Vera: Aloe Vera can also maintain air quality in your home too, in fact, with its help you can clear the air of pollutants which are found in cleaning products and keep your home fresh and beautiful.

2. English Ivy
English Ivy was actually found by NASA to be the very best plant at air-filtering the home, simply because it’s the most effective plant when it comes to absorbing something called formaldehyde.

3. The Snake Plant
Snake plants need very little care and attention and will survive with very little water or sunlight, so they’re the perfect choice for a busy family environment.
The Snake Plant absorbs carbon dioxide and as a result releases oxygen during the night time, so add one of these to your bedroom and you’re guaranteed to have a peaceful night’s sleep with the additional air boost.

4. Bamboo Palm
The Bamboo Palm also made NASA’s list of top clean-air plants with its purifying score landing a whopping 8.4! This gorgeous plant is also pretty good at getting rid of benzene and trichloroethylene, sure to keep your home stress free!

5. Philodendron
This stunning heart shaped philodendron is a popular houseplant across the UK, especially for lounge areas and conservatories. Easy to care for and decorative, it’s the perfect accessory for any home environment.
Just like the English Ivy, it’s brilliant at absorbing formaldehyde, it’s also sure to last many years as long as it’s cared for properly with plenty of water and sunlight.

Americans purchase about 50 billion water bottles per year, averaging about 13 bottles per month for every person in the U.S.! That means by using a reusable water bottle, you could save an average of 156 plastic bottles annually.

The "10:1" starting strategy.

It´s no secret to us that Earth is experiencing global warming. That´s why Heefz is planting 1 tree for every $10 USD in your final order.

The main question to ask ourselves is "What am I willing to do for my home?"

"Picture 1: The Blooming Bamboo house is placed on stilts and designed to withstand floods of up to 1.5 m (5 ft) in depth, though H&P Architects hopes to increase this to 3 m (10 ft). The 44 sq m (473 sq ft) home is built around a central frame constructed from bamboo that is clad using locally-sourced materials including bamboo, fiberboard, and coconut leaves. The homes are expected to be produced at a cost of just US$2,500.

Picture 2: Waste House: a sustainable construction project installed at the UK's University of Brighton. Around 90 percent of the materials that went into making the Waste House derive from household and construction waste, including 20,000 toothbrushes, 4,000 DVD cases, 2,000 floppy discs, and 2,000 used carpet tiles, used to clad the home's facade.

Picture 3: The ZEB Pilot House, by international architecture outfit Snøhetta is a remarkable experimental home that makes an even more remarkable claim: thanks to incredible efficiency and ample solar panels, it's said to generate almost three times the amount of electricity it requires – leaving plenty of surplus juice for charging an EV, for example."

World environment day

"Air pollution is all around us. Indoors, outdoors, in cities and in the countryside. It affects us all, whether we realize it or not. For the longest time, we have taken the air we breathe for granted. There was air, there were smells, there was cold wind, there was hot air." - www.unenvironment.org
