Q: I LIVE on a busy main road and worry about the fumes from cars entering my home, is there any way I can minimise pollution around the house?

A: Yes, fill your home with green leafy plants, they mop up the carbon dioxide in the environment and emit oxygen back into the air. Spider plants are a good choice and everyone should have at least one in the home and also at work if you are around computers, photocopiers and fax machines.
