Of course water is very important for our society, and if we start saving it, we will pay less because we consume less and of course we will keep our environment clean. After we use water, it is not the same as it was before. It is polluted…

Recently I found on Metacafe, a video about one of the coolest street lights I have ever seen. It is said to be in Japan and it uses wind speed as well as solar power to charge itself and reduce the energy consumption. Probably it has some internal batteries that accumulate energy during the day, when is sunny outside or when is windy.

For sure this kind of street lights should be in every city. Imagine how much energy will be saved!

PS: But it seems that it doesn’t produce enough light to light the surroundings…

David Gallaugher and other three Dalhousie architecture students built a grass-lined wheel as an alert for our society that we need more green spaces in our city. Thei idea is to take the green space with you wherever you go.

Of course is just a design and can’t be used in cities because it is not practical.

I was searching something on Youtube and I stumbled across a nice video about a man who built a tree house for relaxation. You can see the interior, the exterior and some explanations about how it was built.

My personal opinion is that if you have a forest near your town and you are able to buy some land there don’t hesitate! You can build there a nice tree house for your free time to escape from the urban jungle.

You can check the video here.

Our cities are becoming every day more and more filled with concrete and less and less greener. But Korean designer Ji-Hye Koo has come up with an idea to cover the painted lines on the streets with Nature On A Tape concept. And the grass will grow on the tape making the city more beautiful.

The idea is nice but who will water all the green tapes around the city in hot summers? Or if a car breakes right on the tape it will ruin it…
