CityTree is the new wall of the start-up Green City Solutions, thanks to solar panels, this 4 meters high wall and 3 wide uses the foam to purify the air by photosynthesis and absorbs 240 tons of gas, Dust per year. The equivalent of 275 trees that purifies the air within a radius of 50 m around its installation.
Using rainwater, its solar panels and sensors to regulate its humidity and temperature, these foam walls are already present in 20 cities in the world. Its next destination: India.

That is so awesome! But almost sad that we need to create such things don't you think?!
Why sad ? For me this is just how human works, we build things, invents things, and if its goes wrong we try to fix it.
Sure we are polluating the planet, but we will find a way to fix it and to give a better future to our children ^^ , I trust in science :D
I hear you :) - I was referring to how all the worlds rain forests are being destroyed and now we have to try and fix what we broke... when in essence we should have just looked after it in the first place... but I do still like the concept you shared any way :D
