How to Forecast Weather | Ever wondered how to forecast the weather without actually using instruments? Check the Clouds: Clouds can tell us a lot about the weather. For example, they can tell us if it’s going to be warmer on a particular night by simply being there. That’s because they prevent heat radiation from escaping. They can also tell you whether there will be rain and whether there will be bad weather in general (when you see clouds moving in opposite directions of each other). Check the Humidity: If you’re one of those people whose hair gets all curly when it gets really humid out, you know exactly what this is about.
Check the Animals: Birds only fly in the sky when they expect fair weather ahead. Look at the Rainbow (but only in the west) and look for a Red Sky: If you see one in the west, it means a major storm front is coming. Check the Air: If it smells like a compost heap, expect some rain soon. Check the Moon: Seen any red moons lately? Check the Wind: A Few More Ideas:
Earthwatch - Change the World. Yourself. WATERLIFE - NFB. All You Need for Fresh Air: 3 Essential Green Plants. By LiveOAK Staff on March 22, 2009 All you need for fresh air. Seventeen years ago Kamal Meattle found out that the air in his home city of Dehli was killing him. He had grown allergic to the pollutants in the air and his lung capacity started declined to 70%. He began researching and found that these three plants can provide a human with all the fresh air they need indoors to be healthy. The three plants are the Areca Palm, the Mother-in-law’s Tongue , and the Money Plant. The Areca Palm (or Chrysalidocarpus lutescens) is does great air cleansing work during the day.
About 4 shoulder height plants per person should do the trick.The Mother-in-law’s Tongue (or Sansevieria trifasciata) takes over by converting CO2 to O2 at night. Kamal Meattle According to Meattle if you have sufficient quantities of these plants you could live in an air tight bubble and as long as the plants are living you'd have enough fresh air to live. Now Meattle, has big plans. Check out his site: GreenSpaces via: TED. 15 houseplants to improve indoor air quality.
