I love this concept… but it reeks of unintended consequences.

Lionel Mora and Patrick Torbey, co-founders of Neoplants, had the idea of building an organism with, what Mora describes as, “virtuous function.” In other words, they wanted to use synthetic biology to add positive functions that could have a positive impact on the environment. They were surrounded by plants when they had the conversation, and so, they thought they could add such a function to a plant to help improve the air.
