As urbanization takes place at an alarming rate, land has become more scarce. The population growth has been been increasing exponentially at many large cities and this gives rise to the need for more food. With higher demand of food, it only means that more land space is required to produce them. In many urban cities, land is a luxury. Farms are getting further and further from cities which means transportation costs and carbon emission increases. However, one company decides to take on this challenge by coming up with a very interesting and workable solution.
Introducing Sky Vegetables, an innovative, urban agriculture company dedicated to building sustainable, commercial-scale hydroponic farms on urban rooftops across America. These sky farms will not only produce food but will also help to cool down building as heat is absorbed by plants and not transmitted into building. Imagine having a farm on top of buildings in your areas, wouldn’t that be just great? Sky farmers can provide free directory of vegetables they grow on the building online so that consumers can locate the right building.
Recycling is becoming more fashionable as people are taking the recycling business more seriously. The amount of household items that are discarded into the bins which can be easily recycled is enormous. Imagine if these items can be salvaged, how much raw materials can we reduced.

Bottles are fed into the BottleCycler through an opening in the top of the device. The machine then quietly slices the glass into recyclable pieces. The glass is transferred into a regular 60L wheelie bin, which is picked up and emptied by BottleCycler, and brought to regional glass recycling plants for processing into material for new bottles or maybe even use for manufacturing glass tiles.

Old LCD tvs are slowly becoming a thing of the past. Just like plasma tv, which used to be a hot item is actually slowly phasing out due to high energy consumption. In Europe, plasma tv is actually banned forcing prices to plummet in remaining countries.

A French tourism company called Bocages has created a pop-up cabin for four that features a transparent dome in the roof, a telescope and a sky observation kit. The aim is to create a portable observatory for stargazer fans. Made with recyclable wood, the cabin aims to be environmentally friendly.
Each cabin is also equipped with a double cabin bed, a sofa bed for two, a kitchenette with refrigerator and hot plates, shower, toilet, wardrobe, electric heating, a bio-ethanol fireplace and cast-iron garden furniture for outside.
Well, maybe somebody here can replicate such idea in this region. Recyclable wood is plentiful and some construction sites discard good quality wood without really putting them to good use. This pop-up cube cabins can be used for other applications e.g. advertising campaigns, pop-up gyms, weight loss programs, etc.
