NASA and Indoor Plants
February 14 2008 by admin.
Snake Plant 
Rubber Tree 
Christmas Cactus 
Many of you have noticed and commented on the new plants in the studio. While Jim and I both like how they look, there is another reason we decided to get those specific plants. Since our studio has carpet, and new paint, and plastic on the leaky windows, we were concerned about air quality. We found these reports online:
NASA and the Associated Landscape Contractors of America worked together to study indoor plants and their ability to absorb indoor pollutants. This site lists the top 11 most effective plants at removing the common pollutants benzene, formaldehyde, and carbon monoxide. Here, you can read up on 7 common houseplants that help clean the air. This is an article on how houseplants do their cleaning. More research can be done from NASA’s Technical Reports Server, searching for Wolverton, the main scientist in charge of these studies.

Walk America- March of Dimes
February 13 2008 by admin.
Jim and I were invited to build a team for the Walk America event, held in Landale on April 27, 2008. Just this weekend, our invitation was bumped up to include the opening warm-up for the entire event. Picture it: the two of us, one with a microphone and one as the ‘lovely assistant’ (we welcome input on who should do which task!), standing in front of a thousand people on top of a tractor trailer. Weeee! Let us know if you want to walk with us.
