Throw away your rattling, ozone-spewing "Ion Wind" air purifier and go all eco-friendly with The Experimental Design Lab's answer to home pollutants: The Green Light. The work of Natalie Jeremijenko, Amelia Amon and Will Kavesh, the device is a suspended tray of vegetation bathed in LED light, thus turning horrible indoor air into clean oxygen.
