Kamal Meattle is an Indian environmental activist and CEO of Paharpur Business centre & Software Technology Incubator Park based in New Delhi, India. Meattle is most famous for his talk at TED 2009 entitled How to Grow Your Own Fresh Air

After becoming allergic to New Delhi's polluted air, Meattle discovered that three common houseplants could help reduce the pollutants in the air. The three plants are Areca palm, Mother-in-Law's Tongue and Money plant

In the 1980s, Meattle helped India's apple industry develop less-wasteful packaging to help save acres of trees. He then began a campaign to help India's millions of scooter drivers use less oil. His next plan is to develop a larger version of PBC-STIP, making a green office accessible to more businesses in New Delhi and serving as an example of low-cost, low-energy office life. [1]
