This is a recent discovery I have found and take no credit for its findings, I only want to share it with as many people as possible. This is a wonderful way to absolutely create a pure air environment for your home which will keep you healthy.

Following these steps, you can never open a window for the rest of you life and always have the freshest air!

Things You'll Need:

• Areca Palm

• Mother-in-laws Tongue

• Money Plant (not money tree)

Areca Palm

Purchase Areca Palm Plants (Chrysalidocarpus lutescens (Areca lutescens)) and place in living room. You need four (4) shoulder height plants per person. These plants are some of the best and most common which remove CO2 from the air and convert it to oxygen.

Clean the leaves daily, water often, keep in sunlight, but too much may burn the leaves. Bring outside every couple of months.


How to Care for an Areca Palm

Chrysalidocarpus lutescen, or the Areca palm, whose green feathering fronds fan out from several trunks makes a lovely plant for the home or office. With the correct amount of watering, soil maintenance and lighting, this species makes an aesthetically pleasing houseplant. However, it is common for the palms leaves to droop and turn yellowish brown over time. Read on to learn how to properly care for your Areca palm to make the most out of its tropical elegance and flair.

Instructions

Step 1
Select a healthy Areca palm from the plant store by examining it for sturdy trunks, green leaves free from yellowing tips and new leaf growth toward the base. Check the leaves for small black spots which indicate insect damage. Upon purchase, the plant’s shoots should stand relatively upright. They do tend to yellow and spread out after time in your home

Step 2
Place your Areca palm in a room with medium to high lighting. In other words, it should be bright; but they should not necessarily be in direct light. Too much sun can yellow the leaves. However, placing the Areca palm near a cold, dim north-facing window does not give the plant enough sunlight.

Step 3
Water the palm often. Make sure the soil is well-moistened. The plant’s soil should never be allowed to totally dry out. On the other hand, if the plant rests in water or is over-saturated, the roots will rot. You can also mist water on the leaves to improve their appearance and well-being.

Step 4
Fertilize your Areca palm a few times a year to keep the soil rich in nutrients. Your local horticulturist may recommend a soil mixture of peat moss, coarse sand and garden loam.

Mother-in-laws Tongue

Buy Mother-in-laws tongue or Snake plant (Sansevieria trifasciata) and place in your bedroom. You will need six(6) to eight (8) waist height plants per person. These plants remove CO2 and convert it into oxygen at night. This is essential for overall air quality. Along with Areca Palm, you will be converting CO2 into oxygen 24 hours a day. Clean leaves once a week, keep in low light or bright shade, water every few days. Watch pets and children. The sap can be toxic if chewed and ingested.

SPECIES AND CULTIVARS
Sansevieria trifasciata, also called snake plant, mother-in-law's tongue, or common sansevieria, has up to 6 leaves per rosette. Mature leaves are dark green with light gray-green cross-banding, and usually range between 2.5 and 3 feet in length and 2 to 2.8 inches in width. Leaves which develop under bright light out of doors or in bright greenhouses have prominent light cross-bands, while those which develop under 2000 foot-candles or less, or are held under low light intensities, have nearly solid dark green leaves.

Propagation by Division

In Central Florida and parts of South Florida, Sansevieria are grown in greenhouses or in shadehouses lined with polyethylene and heated during winter. Plants are grown from division of stock or from leaf cuttings, depending upon the cultivar and size plant desired. Stock bed width and harvesting procedures are similar to open-field production. One exception is that the sandy soil is usually rinsed from roots prior to packing, a procedure not usually required when plants are grown in limerock.

Sandy field soils used for ground beds should be amended with 15 to 20 percent peat incorporated into the upper 4 inches to improve water holding and cation exchange capacity. The pH of most sandy ground beds in central Florida ranges between 5.5 and 6.8.

Research has shown that S. trifasciata growing in beds of sand and peat in central Florida will yield 24 or more plants per square foot per year, with an average weight of 0.29 pound per plant. Nonvariegated plants are generally more productive than variegated cultivars of the same species.

Money Plant

Buy Money Plants, also known as Pothos or Silver Vine (Epipremnum aureum) and place randomly. There is no recommended amount of these plants, but they are used to remove Formaldehyde, Xylene, and Benzene. Place one or two in every room for maximum effect. Keep in low light as direct sunlight can burn leaves, water often and wipe leaves when visibly dirty.

How to Germinate a Epipremnum Aureum (Devil's Ivy) Plant
Epipremnum aureum plants can sometimes to be called golden pothos, devil’s ivy, silver vine or money plant. Epipremnum is a popular green house plant. They are easy to grow and maintain. You can even use a shoot or shoots from the plant to spout roots without using soil.

Step 1

First get a vase that you wish to grow your pothos plant in. Preferably a vase with a flat bottom and level shape. While selecting your vase keep in mind that you care going to fill it with glass rocks so select a suitable vase of shape and size for your plant.

Step 2
Next select glass rocks of choice and color to fill the vase with so that you can grow roots around them. Hold your devil’s ivy shoot in place while putting the rocks in the vase. You can use more than one plant shoot in a vase. Be gentle when placing your rocks into the vase. The rocks will secure the epipremnum aureum plant in place. You may have to attempt this more than once to get the plants in the exact placement that you wish them to be.

Step 3

Next you are going to want to make sure you are satisfied with the arrangement of your plant(s) and then fill the vase with water that is not to hot or not to cold. Try to keep the climate of your water at room temperature to avoid shocking the plant.

Step 4
Put your newly put together house plant on display and wait for roots to grow. After the roots have formed you can move the devil’s ivy into soil or keep it in the vase filled with water and glass stone if you wish.

"Mother's Earth Day" is all the days - El "Día de Mama Tierra" es todos los días.

Después de un fraternal saludo, quisiera agradecerles por participar en la celebración del "Día de Mama Tierra". El reloj recordatorio que está situado en la parte derecha de este blog estará a su disposición cada vez que lo necesiten para orientarse e informarse.
After our warmest greetings, I would like to thank you for your participation in the celebration of the "Mother Earth Day". As a reminder, there is clock on the upper-right corner of this blog, which would be available for any information or direction you may need.

Contando con su aporte y colaboración, queremos alcanzar la meta de enseñarle a 3500 niños, sobre el tema propuesto: El Reciclaje.

With your collaboration and support, we want to be able to teach 3,500 children, about the issue of Recycling that we are proposing.

Para lograrlo nos hemos trazado un plan: Cada uno invitará a 7 adultos para que colaboren. Hablemos con nuestros familiares, hijos, hermanos primos, sobrinos, esposos (as), amigos cercanos, vecinos, compañeros de trabajo. Una vez se cumpla este primer paso, ya seremos 56 "Tutores Voluntarios". Luego cada uno de los nuevos 49 "Tutores Voluntarios", darán el segundo paso e invitara a otros 7 a participar. Al cumplir este segundo paso aspiramos alcanzar una totalidad de 350 "Tutores Voluntarios".

In order to achieve it we have devised a strategy: Each one of you would invite 7 adults to collaborate. Let's talk to our relatives, children, siblings, cousins, nephews and nieces, spouses, close friends, neighbors, work partners and so forth. Once we have accomplished this first step, we would become 56 "Volunteer Tutors". Then, any of the 49 "volunteer tutors" would take a second step by inviting other 7 people to participate.
Como podrán notarlo nos hemos repartido el trabajo equitativamente, lo cual allanará el camino para dar el tercer paso.

As you may have noticed, we have fairly distributed the duties, which would make it easier to undertake the third step.

Lograremos llamar la atención si exponemos este propósito, a los directores de escuelas, a los pastores de Iglesias y a los directores de las bibliotecas públicas más cercanas a su hogar, informándoles que somos 350 "Tutores Voluntarios" y que nuestra tarea será hacer una exposición a diez niños y/o niñas sobre el tema escogido para celebrar el "Día de Mama Tierra".
We would be able to attract them if we explain our goal, by telling to the school teachers, church pastors, and directors of the public libraries close to your homes, that we are 350 volunteer tutors whose duty is to make a presentation to 10 children about the issue of "Mother Earth Day" that we have selected.
Para las inscripciones, cada "Tutor Voluntario", determinará la hora y los días hábiles en los que estará disponible para que los padres de los niños puedan decidir el día que mas les convenga.


Por votación se determinará el día en el que ese "Tutor Voluntario" se reunirá con los niños para enseñarles durante 45 minutos el tema del Reciclaje.

During the registration, each "Volunteer Tutor" would chose the business days and hours, in which they are available to offer a 45 minutes presentation about recycling.

Efecto Invernadero

Mas Vale prevenir que Lamentar!

Estamos viviendo una crisis mundial y todos somos responsables. El Efecto Invernadero es uno de los mayores de los problemas. Ya estamos sufriendo las consecuencias. Los daños causados al medioambiente por parte del hombre han tenido sus efectos en los elementos de la naturaleza: en la tierra, en el aire, en el fuego y en el agua.

Better Safe Than Sorry!

We are facing a world crisis and we are all responsible for it. The Greenhouse Effect is one of the biggest problems that we are going through. And we are already suffering the consequences. The damages caused to the environment by human beings have had effects in the four elements of nature: Earth, fire, air and, water.

Las Noticias en todo el mundo informan sobre erupciones volcanicas, temblores y terremotos, tornados, huracanes incendios, inundaciones, todo lo cual es resultado de un deterioro irreversible.

News around the world inform about volcano eruptions, earth tremors and earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, fires and flooding, which are all the result of an irreversible deterioration.

Una de las razones de este deterioro es la deforestación (tala indiscriminada de árboles), de los cuales dependemos porque ayudan a proeducir el oxigeno que necesitamos para vivir.

One of the causes of this deterioration is deforestation (indiscriminate felling of trees) from which we depend to produce the oxygen we need to live.

¿Cuantas artículos puedes contar en tu hogar que hayan sido elaboradas con la madera de los árboles?

How many items made with wood of the trees can you count up in your home?

¿Te has preguntado, que te pasaría si te sacaran poco a poco tu sangre, (cinco litros promedio)?

Have you ever wondered, what would happen to you little by little, your blood was taken out of your body? (an average of 5 litters).

Sin embargo estamos desangrando a nuestra madre. La extracción de la sangre de la tierra (el oro negro, el petróleo), es lo que ha causado los movimientos de las grandes placas tectónicas. También es la causa de las erupciones volcánicas, temblores y grandes terremotos.

However, we are bleeding our Mother Earth. The extraction of earth blood (black gold or petroleum) has caused movements in the big plate tectonics. This is also the cause of volcano eruptions, earth tremors and huge earthquakes.

¿Sabes que sucede después que sustraen el petróleo, a donde va, o si lo utilizarán para hacer transfusiones con el?

Do you know what happens after petroleum is extracted, where does it go, and is it used for transfusions?

Tal vez si, porque va a las grandes refinerías y allí lo procesan. Algunos de sus subproductos son la gasolina, el Diesel, aceites para el motor, etc.

Perhaps, because it goes to the big refineries to be processed. Some of the byproducts are gasoline, diesel, motor oils and so forth.

¿En donde se utilizan estos subproductos?

Where are these byproducts used?

Esta es la transfusión sobre la que preguntaba; van a los motores de combustión que movilizan los autos, camiones, buses, aviones, trenes, barcos, etc.

This is the transfusion I was asking about. They go to the combustion motors that cause cars, trucks, buses, planes, trains, ships and others to move.

¿Y que producen la combustión de estos motores? Monóxido de carbono (CO). Que es el monóxido de carbono? http://tinyurl.com/yqpj2p -> Efecto Invernadero - Descongelación del Circulo Polar Artico y Antartico.

And what does the motor combustion produce? Carbon monoxide; What is carbon monoxide? http://tinyurl.com/yqpj2p -> Greenhouse effect - The Defrosting of Artic and Antarctic Circles.

La cantidad de oxigeno en la atmósfera, se ha reducido al veinte por ciento (20%), lo cual significa que estamos respirando únicamente la quinta parte de este elemento esencial para nuestra existencia.

The amount of oxygen in the atmosphere has decreased by 20%, which means that we are breathing only a fifth of this element, essential for our lives.

Tu puedes subsistir varios días sin comer, sin tomar agua, pero no vivirías mas de tres minutos sin oxigeno en tu cuerpo.

You can survive several days without taking food or water, but you would not survive three minutes without oxygen in your body.

¿Que pasa cuando no respiramos el 100% del oxigeno?

What happens when we do not breathe 100% oxygen?

No oxigenamos. El poco oxigeno que reciben actualmente nuestras células, lo reciben contaminado.

We do not oxygenate. The little oxygen we receive is contaminated, so what happens?

Que sucede entonces? Permitimos que las células se intoxiquen y mueran. We are allowing our cells to become intoxicated and die.

Si no puedes ir a la montaña,

permite que la montaña venga a ti!
If you can not go to the Mountain, Let the Mountain come to you!

Intensifica la oxigenación de las células, las desintoxicaras mejorando el flujo de sangre y aumentando la resistencia.  Si deseas que el Oxigeno, uno de los mas Importantes Elementos Esenciales para una buena salud, te pueda ayudar a ti, a tus familiares y amigos, Camina cerca de la montaña o en la playa. 

Reserva tu asiento en la inolvidable y saludable excursión (Tour) a las Montañas del Norte de Carolina o a las Playas del Sur de Carolina.
