An open, user owned community for discussing the topic of sustainability, feel free to join :)
Sustainability is the ability of a system to endure. While most people associate the term with the environment, true longevity requires social and economical sustainability as well as ecological sustainability.

I love plants, but my apartment only has one window where the sunlight shines through for about 1h a day.
And they look nice!
Not sure what idiot downvoted you, but you're absolutely right. The positive impact on our mental health cannot be discounted.
Exactly. I really love tropical planta with big green leaves. They are somehow really calming and making me feel comfortable.
It's built-in to our psyche–we love plants and with good reason. Studies show access to green space reduces stress levels and increases life expectancy. We should strive to incorporate plant life into everything we build.
I strongly agree
