Air pollution today is a major problem for America. If you live in or around a major metropolitan area all you need to do is look out your window and you can see the brown haze that hangs over cities. The interesting thing about air pollution is that your home or office may be as big an offender or bigger than the outside air.

Construction techniques have improved energy efficiency to the point of creating an air-tight seal in homes and offices. This air tight seal is great for keeping smuts, pollen and other pollutants out but it also keeps pollutants in.

There are three choices for what can be done to alleviate high levels of indoor air pollution. The first is to grow indoor plants such as the Trident Maple Bonsai Tree or other types of Bonsai Trees. The second choice is to install an expensive air filtration system and the third choice is to open the windows and doors and let the breeze flow through the house.

The second and third options can be expensive and inconvenient. To install an air filtration system is costly. To open doors and windows may be impractical in cold climates during the winter and unfeasible in hot climates during to summer. So what should you do to help control indoor air pollution? Grow a Bonsai Tree Garden.

Bonsai trees have been around for centuries. Movies such as 'The Karate Kid' have featured characters trimming Bonsai trees. Bonsai trees have been known to reduce stress and to alleviate arthritic pain. Trimming and maintaining bonsai trees requires patience and fine motor skills and some medical practitioners even feel that strengthening fine motor skills like those required for trimming bonsai trees can slow the progression of Alzheimer's.

So how does growing an indoor bonsai garden help to reduce indoor air pollution? Simple, bonsai trees help to naturally filter the air. As the bonsai trees take in carbon dioxide and other air particulates the bonsai trees give off clean healthy oxygen.

The care that an indoor bonsai tree garden requires may be intimidating but the benefits are tremendous. As your indoor bonsai tree garden grows you will benefit from cleaner air, less stress and improved fine motor skills.
