Plant For Air Month. Cutting C02 levels, one plant at a time.

Did you know… one indoor plant can reduce C02 levels by up to 25%?

At ELEVEN Australia we love plants. The benefits they provide to workspaces are paramount in maintaining a healthy work environment – think mood-boosting properties, improved air quality and not to mention how beautiful they look in your space!

We wanted to bring plant life to salon life, so we came up with a plant currency and launched Plant For Air Month where we gave all our salons and distributors (globally) free products if they bought a new plant for their salon.

ELEVEN AUSTRALIA X PLANT FOR AIR MONTH (HOW IT WORKS)

During the month of June, salons are given complimentary ELEVEN Australia x Plant For Air Cards and are encouraged to purchase a plant, post an image of it in their salon with the hashtag elevenxplantforair in exchange for a free full size bottle of shampoo. So in other words, the plant costs them nothing. This is a small investment with big feel-good potential for our salons and clients. Not to mention the positive impact this can make on the environment. 

ELEVEN AUSTRALIA x PLANT GURU, CRAIG MILLER-RANDLE

Off the back of the success of last years Plant For Air Month, we decided to partner with Australia’s plant expert (and presenter on ABC’s Gardening Australia) @craigmilran to show us the best plant types to have for every area of a salon (from low-light to bright-light) and for maximum benefits. Take a peek for great tips and info on how plants can enhance your wellbeing.  🌿 🌱

GREEN LIVING : 6 INDOOR PLANT FACTS YOU NEED TO KNOW

  • 1. A study from The University of Technology Sydney found that in workspaces with plants, CO2 levels reduced by about 10 per cent in an air-conditioned building and 25 per cent in a building without air-conditioning.*

  • 2. Indoor plants can remove VOCs 24/7 by absorbing and degrading air pollutants and releasing oxygen into the air as part of the photosynthetic process.

  • 3. Australia has given the world some beauties. Many beautiful and exotic plants are homegrown. Some, like the kentia palm, umbrella tree and recognisable succulents, are Aussie natives.

  • 4. Indoor environments have become a major health consideration, with people spending 80-90% of their time indoors.

  • 5. A Harvard University Study showed that poor indoor air quality was linked to low cognitive function and that reducing pollutants and carbon dioxide can have a “profound impact” on decision-making.*

  • 6. Indoor plants can teach us about our homes’ microclimates. The warmth, humidity and airflow in various nooks and crannies of your home can mean the difference between a thriving plant and potted misery.
