On Thursday 26 February 2015 the Green Impact Team of the Economics Department held the first Adopt-a-plant event.
Faculty and PhD students at the department, as well as associates of the research centres affiliated with the department were invited to adopt one of the plants that were available on the day. They were also encouraged to swap or donate plants.
The initiative was sponsored by the Department of Economics. Plants were selected among a range of air-filtering plants, such as spider plants, English ivy, and peace lilies. Read NASA's study on clean air that includes a list of air-filtering plants.
The event was a success. All 27 plants available were adopted by faculty, PhD students and research centre members.
