== Indoor Plants In A Solarpunk World ==

The first thing many people see when they are introduced to Solarpunk is all the plant life in many pieces of Solarpunk artwork. While most of these plants are outdoors, indoor plants have their own place in a world like this too, not just for the food they can provide for all the health benefits they provide us. Make no mistake though, the only proven health benefits of Indoor plants are for one's mental health. While it is true that a ~~1989 NASA study shown that indoor plants may help purify~~ air, ~~the~~ effectiveness ~~varies~~ from plant to plant, and ~~if true~~ may require a large concentration of plants in each room. There are some companies such as [https://neoplants.com/product/neo-px Neoplants] that claim to sell plants that were genetically modified to ~~purify~~ air ~~better~~, but these claims have been met with skepticism, and the subscription based products sold by these companies ~~only raises~~ further suspicion.
