They will be called TREEPODS.
Trees filter the air for us. The remove CO2, carbon dioxide, and enrich the air with O2, the oxygen that we need to survive. These are going to be statements not only of the world experiencing a move environmentally-conscious paradigm shift, but of urban and technological beauty that the world has never seen before. Made almost entirely from recycled water bottles, they will also contain solar panels that will generate enough energy for these structures to power themselves.
The design of these trees is truly remarkable-they are based not only on how real trees work, but also are designed to model the efficiency of the human lung.

Wow! That's really incredible! So these are man-made trees made from recycled materials and powered by the sun which will create O2 and still be healthy for our lungs? Do I have that right? That's fascinating!
ReplyDeleteYes. It pretty fantastic. It's a huge step in the right drection when it comes to making our world a better place, today and for future generations.
