Let's challenge the making of "green curtains" in 2022!
Last Updated December 13, 2022
What is a "green curtain"?
Image of green curtain (Izumi Ward)
Crane plants such as bitter gourd and western morning glory are placed on nets on the outside of windows and on the walls, thereby blocking direct sunlight.
If there is a green curtain near the window, it will reduce the indoor temperature, which will save electricity costs for cooling, prevent global warming, and reduce CO2 emissions.
Green curtains are not only good for the environment, but depending on the type of planting, you can enjoy a variety of ways, such as harvesting as ingredients, processing them into crafts such as figurines, and appreciate beautiful flowers.
By all means, please try making green curtains!
