The World’s First Vertical Forest: An… | Bit Rebels

’d like to introduce you to the world’s first Bosco Verticale (Italian for Vertical Forest), which is being built right now in Milan. According to Christopher Woodward, a writer for the Financial Times, it’s “the most exciting new tower in the world.”

This vertical forest will span across two towers that have fabulous balconies designed to house these trees. The pictures below are an image of how it’s projected to look, although I wonder if once the project is completed if it will take a decade for the trees to grow to that height. When it’s all said and done, this vertical forest will consist of 900 trees, 5,000 bushes and 11,000 plants.

The forest is the 99%, with all its life - and we human beings are a part of that life. Can life make a movement? There haven't been earth revolutions yet. Can you have a life riot in the manner of a food riot? Will there ever be a general strike for the Earth?

 

Creation must kill the fundamentalist's creator. Let's promise each other this promised land of the forest with all its wildness! Occupy the fundamentalist God! Occupy God!
