Nowadays, we sense CO2 levels in the ambient using an electronic sensor. Thus, the waste of electronic components and electricity is more than if we use plants to do the same work.
With our plants, you can save a lot of materials and resources like electronic components, different types of metals, plastics, etc. Nowadays, these materials are getting expensive because of the lack of them. This lack of materials is an important problem for our society.
Moreover, when your electric devices stop working, you must dispose of them in a specific container. Not in the case of our plants because they are biodegradable and would last as long as you take care of them.
In conclusion, at the same time that we save resources and energy, we do not produce any type of waste.
An electronic CO2 sensor consumes energy. But if you use a plant as your sensor you do not need energy, which is an important issue in the actual energetic crisis. This is a great advantage for society and it could have a huge impact on the environment.
A huge difference between the conventional devices for measuring the air quality and ours is that the electronic ones only show the concentration of particles of CO2 in the air. Our plant measures the levels of CO2 and it also produce O2 through photosynthesis. So, apart from detecting a problem it solves other.
