In the near future in new York can appear a few "green" Islands

 

Many world experts are inclined to believe that the pollution problems of the urban environment can not be solved by any one local way. In order to achieve significant results, it is necessary to apply a variety of approaches that will include reducing consumption of resources, and the use of renewable energy sources, and recycling and stuff. Experts from the new York design firm, The Present Architecture has developed its own approach to solving the problems mentioned above and introduced the concept of 7 "green" Islands, which, being in the heart of the metropolis, can have a beneficial impact on urban environment.





Every year in the "Big Apple" produces about 14 million tons of waste, most of which goes far beyond new York city to landfills. Removal of debris costs taxpayers a very large sum — $300 million a year. A large number osetenovo at the landfill will bring serious damage to the environment, polluting it badly. In the Bureau, The Present Architecture has developed quite an original solution to this problem. The project was called "Green Loop" (translated as "Green loop"). The idea of the project is as follows: architects and designers offer to build 7 artificial Islands in the canals of the city, where I'd placed the items in the recycling area for growing plants and places for recreation.





In the framework of the project eletrosul plans to recycle the waste easily into compost and plastic, and other hard-degradable waste. Experts estimate that this initiative will help to reduce the cost of transportation of garbage into the hundreds of millions of dollars.
