This book focuses on using plants in spatial design to reduce or remove the infectiousness of viruses in different working and living spaces. It presents strategies of interior and exterior green designs with plants that are likely effective for the flu virus tolerance and reduction of infectiousness. The designs are appealing for human interaction and healing as well as focusing on the reduction and removal of virus' infectiousness. The Famulari theory requires looking at plants which are likely effective for virus accumulation based on their stomata and leaves for transpiration, tolerance and accumulation of airborne viruses. Additionally, this research requires looking at the quantity and specific type of plants (as well as electronic sources such as humidifiers and water features) needed to produce effective humidity for plants to decrease the survival or transmission of viruses; effective distance people to plants; and light, water, soil and temperature needs. The Famulari theory also involves creating a cellulose spray with a flu antibody which can be misted onto plant surfaces. It addresses the various greening practices that can be applied to sites to reduce the infectiousness of the airborne flu virus -- especially in areas such as public parks, office buildings and work spaces/conference rooms, airports, and the home office. This book addresses ways which businesses owners and residents can integrate to improve the air contaminants with a green solution. Designing green spaces which accumulate, reduce and remove infectiousness of viruses involves exploring multiple approaches from different directions to achieve the most effective and ideal design. The six basic approaches include: 1. Temperature (higher) 2. Plants with larger leaves for higher transpiration rates 3. Plants with multiple open stomata for transpiration and accumulation of viruses 4. Humidity (higher) 5. Plants with larger leaf surfaces for cellulose spray with flu antibody 6. Air circulation Stevie Famulari brings unique insights and inspires the development of green understanding and design solutions plan with both short term and long-term approaches. Illustrations of applied greening to locations help you understand your own design solutions in order to create them in your site. This book breaks down the misconceptions of the complexity of sustainability and green practices and provides illustrations and site appropriate solutions to how you can incorporate green solutions into your lifestyle for a healthier site. Greening is a lifestyle change, and this guide lets you know how easy it is to transition to the green side.
