January 10, 2023 - National Houseplant Appreciation Day | National Shop For Travel Day

Welcome to January 10th, 2023 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate the green indoors and dream vacations come true. In 1989 NASA published a study that showed that plants may improve the air quality for indoor spaces. We all know that plants consume carbon dioxide and produce oxygen as they do their photosynthesis thing, so this makes sense. But apparently some plants are better than others when it comes to this phenomenon of boosting your indoor air quality. Apparently, Boston ferns, spider plants, ficus, rubber trees and bamboo plants are more effective than other plants. You’re a big fan of talking to your plants eh, Marlo. On National Houseplant Appreciation Day, give some love to the species that helps you breathe easier. National Shop For Travel Day was created in 2018 by the Travel Technology Association. Today it’s easier than ever before to get the scoop on planning your next big adventure. Check out apps like Hopper for monitoring airfare price drops. PackPoint lets you enter destinations, time of year and length of stay for customizing your packing list. Citymapper helps you plan the fastest route to your points of interest. And if you prefer a low tech solution, browse through the pages of Lonely Planet magazine or the good old Blue Guide books with more than a century of history to back them up. This day is all about daydreaming, which is the first step to making your virtual vacations come true. I’m Anna Devere and I’m Marlo Anderson. Thanks for joining us as we Celebrate Every Day!
