So there is no real issue with houseplants that couldn't be made for literally anything people do or own. Even if we banned all house plants, I doubt it would have any improvement on the environment. I wouldn't be surprised if it makes things even worse as people use synthetic decorations to replace their house plants.

Tbh I'm kind of sick of every thread about the environment being filled with comments about completely insignificant things while the obvious and massive improvements are sitting in front of our faces. If most countries implemented a carbon tax and did literally nothing else, it would be a monumental improvement. When tested in Australia, it was economically and environmentally a massive success. It was just destroyed politically by newscorp.
