Re: We need a trillion more indoor plants.

LED are really an interesting topic for plants...i looked into it a couple years back and got no where fast....but i think it has HIGH potential as it is not a hot light and doesnt waste as much. over here they are installing 100+ lumen/w lights on the streets....very cool! i think Japan has made it to 130 lumens/watt.

LED is the future, and even now it is fairly cheap (similar to the more expensive flouro units here).

as for indoor plants i still think that either plant rotation (that knocks off 9/10 people cause we are a lazy specie) and/or lighting. or more windows which will no doubt change heating/cooling costs....

i tried having plants inside here, and it looked great...but every pot will soon have an ants nest...back outside.
