   Hallo,   
      
   a company over here developed an "urban furniture" (wikipedia) that is   
   basically a large frame, planted with moss. They claim it filters   
   pollution particles out of the air, transfers 150 kg CO2 per year and   
   lowers the temperature around it, therefore improving a city's climate.   
   It looks like it could be something for the life support for space   
   infrastructure, if a least parts of it can be made be local means (it is   
   mostly made of concrete).   
      
   But one should not be to optimistic. A few have been ... build?   
   installed? planted? in the Ruhr area, and after a few months, they do   
   not look good. They start to wilt, and the moss is dying up. It will   
   take time to see if this happens because of local conditions (standing   
   out in the open, not in a controlled lab) or if the concept has to   
   re-designed.   
      
     Some scientist are skeptic that they will work as promised at all.
