You may be thinking, “Why is Good Earth Plants discussing a Wendy’s restaurant commercial? Don’t we get enough commercials in our lives!”

I realize this is not like our typical posts, but Wendy’s is on to something we’ve talked about for a long time.

In the new Wendy’s commercial for its “Summer in a bowl” salad, two women are eating the salads in their office. While they eat, the office begins to transform into a beautiful, green outdoor atmosphere. They love it! Wouldn’t you love to see your office turn inside out?

When you have plants in your office, the air quality improves.  As we’ve written before, plants can even help cure Sick Building Syndrome, because plants give off oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide. Plants also absorb dust and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as formaldehyde and benzene. Read more in our previous post, Good Earth Plants has the Prescription for Sick Building Syndrome.

When you work surrounded by a green environment, your overall well-being improves and it leads to results such as higher productivity, reduced absenteeism and lowered stress levels. Wendy’s understands that having a green natural environment in the office makes for happy workers!
