I know I already wrote a bit about indoor plants on here but I was just on pinterest this morning and found this really helpful site about what plants to get if you want to purify the air in your home!
If your thinking of getting something for inside it may as well be good for you or be edible like a herb or tomato plant etc. Personally I think I'll be getting an alo vera or on of the ferns, in particular the bosten.
Anyway the site has heaps of sustainability ideas for beginners so take a look!
