I'm just wondering how many are aware of "NASA's Clean Air Plant Study" completed several years ago?
"Common indoor plants may provide a valuable weapon in the fight against rising levels of indoor air pollution. Those plants in your office or home are not only decorative, but NASA scientists are finding them to be surprisingly useful in absorbing potentially harmful gases and cleaning the air inside modern buildings."
"NASA research has consistently shown that living, green and flowering plants can remove several toxic chemicals from the air in building interiors. You can use plants in your home or office to improve the quality of the air to make it a more pleasant place to live and work - where people feel better, perform better, and enjoy life more."
TOP 10 plants most effective in removing: formaldehyde, benzene, and carbon monoxide from the air.

The goal is to have at least one plant for each employee in the building.
Have each employee bring in a live potted plant listed in the NASA's Clean Air Plant Study. The CEO will award the winners for the healthiest, cutest, most beautiful and honorable mention plant in the office. You can have all the employees vote secretly. The boss have to buy the prizes of course.
A healthy employee is a happy and productive one. Campaign sogans ideas: "Go Green Like an Evergreen" or "Your Health is Your Wealth". Good luck and have fun.
