"According to Respyre team pioneer Auke Bleij, moss is non-invasive to building facades (because they have rhizoids instead of roots), and since moss requires minimal maintenance and has a dense leaf system, its particularly good for urban environments...Moss purifies the air by converting CO2 to oxygen on top of removing other pollutants from water and air. It provides habitats where there would otherwise be inhospitable concrete and has cooling properties by shielding the surface from sunlight and through a process called evapotranspiration."
