Summer provides the perfect opportunity to freshen up your home. On the days that are not too hot, throw open the windows and let the coastal breezes refresh your living space. Nature does a better (and healthier) job of cleaning up your air than artificial air fresheners can do. Another great way to improve the air quality in your home is by growing house plants. Plants use up the Carbon Dioxide floating around and exchange it for life-giving Oxygen. Summer is a great time to pick up some extra plants from your local nursery, or bring in cuttings from the yard. Celebrate summer!
