Plankton in the oceans absorb far more CO2 than all the plants on earth combined. Would I call it eco-friendly not exactly, just eco-integration. Moss only release spores when raindrops hit them or animals step on them, but I'm not sure how long a moss plant lives, and since some mosses can grow on rock's without soil what is stopping it from growing out of control? Lastly I'd rather have the insects in my house be in there then in my room! Still very cool.

Moss needs a damp cool climate and I'd think most interiors wd be too dry and warm for them... It must need a lot of very clean water sprayed onto it or under it.

As soon as those plants die and start to decompose, that CO2 is released again. This is why carbon sequestration via forestation is not a via long-term solution to climate change. This product is hardly going to be a large-scale contributor to the problem, but its decomposition is hardly neutral.Perhaps the larger question is of the manufacturing process. How much of an impact on the environment though energy requirements, waste, emissions, etc. does it have?Don't get me wrong: I love plants and forests and incorporating them into our living spaces, but we need to be sure that when someone tells us something is "eco-friendly" it is, in fact, so.

A fantastic idea has been added and it's there for us to enjoy. So what does the first comment say... "When someone falls ,who liable?" Come on the thing you should be commenting and thinking about is whether you like/dislike it or like me i thought that more oxygen in the house would be nice :)Have a wonderful day.
