Do you want to know “where the magic happens”?<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n
Follow Spencer Kelly from “BBC Click<\/span><\/a>” and their “Green Special” to find out “How walls of moss could help reduce urban air pollution”<\/em>!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
But be careful, because “if you live in the green, it\u2019s easy to forget what life is like in the gray\u201d<\/em>: According to the World Health Organization (WHO)<\/span>, air pollution \u201ckills an estimated 7 million people worldwide every year\u201d.<\/div>\n
As Spencer Kelly said, “we\u2019re not all going to move back to nature”.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

“\ud835\ude3d\ud835\ude6a\ud835\ude69 \ud835\ude6c\ud835\ude5d\ud835\ude56\ud835\ude69 \ud835\ude5e\ud835\ude5b \ud835\ude6c\ud835\ude5a \ud835\ude58\ud835\ude64\ud835\ude6a\ud835\ude61\ud835\ude59 \ud835\ude57\ud835\ude67\ud835\ude5e\ud835\ude63\ud835\ude5c \ud835\ude63\ud835\ude56\ud835\ude69\ud835\ude6a\ud835\ude67\ud835\ude5a \ud835\ude5e\ud835\ude63\ud835\ude69\ud835\ude64 \ud835\ude69\ud835\ude5d\ud835\ude5a \ud835\ude58\ud835\ude5e\ud835\ude69\ud835\ude5e\ud835\ude5a\ud835\ude68\u201d?<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Therefore, BBC News<\/span> <\/a>visited us in Bestensee near Berlin – and of course our magical moss farm. Here, we at Green City Solutions<\/span> \u201chave been growing moss up to 15 times faster than in nature”.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Spencer Kelly has “to say there\u2019s something very soothing about being in their greenhouse\u201d.<\/div>\n
Thus, he asked Ingrida Melkov\u00e1, our Moss Researcher & Cultivation Specialist: \u201cDo you just come in here and stroke the moss?\u201d …and followed her into the moss lab – because \u201cit\u2019s in the lab where we\u2019ll get to see moss\u2019s superpower\u201d.<\/div>\n
