I think this is an amazing discovery. These plants have the capability to help erase some of the mess that the human race has caused which is incredible! There are many people who are trying to help save the environment including, Suzanne Lee, a woman who is currently perfecting ways to grow your own clothes. These types of innovations will certainly help the environment remove pollution and carbon dioxide which will consequently lead to healthier surrounding as well as a healthier life.
Overall, after these inventions are operational, they will make vast improvements in our everyday lives. The lives of, not just people, but all the inhabitants of the earth will be affected in an extremely positive way. I can’t wait to see what the future of these technologies hold.
