Three Indoor Plants that Give You Better Air at Home

Kamal Meattle used three just three indoor plant species to increase oxygen, filter air, and boost general health at a a New Delhi business park. You too can use them to freshen your indoor space.

Meattle's presentation at the TED 2009 conference details a large-scale success, using thousands of plants for hundreds of workers. In any living or working space, though, the three plants—Areca palm, Mother-in-law's Tongue, and a "Money Plant"—can be used to convert carbon dioxide into oxygen, remove organic compounds, and generally filter and freshen the ambient air. A single person looks to need a minimum of 11 total plants, and certain climates with less sunlight could require a bit of hydroponic growing, but Meattle swears by the health, productivity, and atmosphere benefits.

FireFox 3D Inspect Page

When you click on the 3D view button, the page goes into 3D view mode; in this mode, you can see your page presented in a 3D view in which nested blocks of HTML are increasingly "tall," projecting outward from the bottom of the page. This view makes it easy to visualize the nesting of your content.By clicking and dragging the view, you can rotate and re-orient the 3D presentation of the DOM hierarchy of your page to see it from different angles, to better examine its structure. Off-screen elements become visible, so that you can see where your elements are located in relation to the visible content. You can click on elements to see their HTML in the HTML panel or or Style panel. Conversely, you can click on elements in the breadcrumb bar to change which element is selected in the 3D view.Use cases for the 3D viewThere are a variety of ways the 3D view is useful:

  • If you have broken HTML causing layout problems, looking at the 3D view can help find where you've gone wrong. Often, layout problems are caused by improper nesting of content. This can become much more obvious when looking at the 3D view and seeing where your elements are nested wrong.
  • If content isn't displaying, you may be able to figure out why; since the 3D view lets you zoom out to see elements that are rendering outside the visible area of the page, you can find stray content this way.
  • You can get a look at how your page is structured to see if there may be ways to optimize your layout.
  • And, of course, it looks awesome.
