Climate cultists now say indoor house plants are bad for the planet
01/17/2024 / By Ethan Huff
One of the most harmful things a person can do with regard to the environment is purchase indoor plants for a home or office space, as doing so “pollutes” the atmosphere with carbon, according to the Washington Post.
Writer Nicolás Rivero argues that when it comes to climate change and global warming, indoor houseplants are an environmental threat as the trucks that deliver them to the local nursery “spew carbon emissions.” Likewise, the plastic pots and trays that hold indoor plants are made from petroleum.
Even though house plants “breathe in” carbon dioxide while releasing oxygen for humans and animals to breathe, the “environmental cost” of greening one’s indoor spaces is too high, according to climate cultists, to legitimize their use.
