Please visit the link below to read more and to learn more about him. He has several books out and is the editor of 'Country Home' mag. Hope you enjoy the rest of the artical.

While still on the Green train of thought here are some ideas to help clear the air in your house. House plants really cut down on dust,air toxins,and other comtaminites like mould and bacteria. Alison Ramsey wrote a great list of the best air cleaners around.

Bathroom: English Ivy removes airborn fecal particals and mould spores. ( poisions to kids and pets if injested)

Den: Philodenrons absorb formaldehyde and benzin emitted from fabric and glues in carpet backing.

Kitchen: Spider plants take in carbon monoxide from your gs range, plus nitrogen dioxide from tobacco and fossil fuels.

Coffe Table: Chrysanthemums and gerbar daises absorb toxins as well, keeping the air fresher and healthier.
