plants in motion

hah... an interesting concept of NY based designer Marco Castro - plants on the roof of buses as one attempt to reclaim forgotten spaces as he calls it. He estimated if all buses of the NY fleet (about 4500) were covered with plants it could cover a total area of 35 acres of rolling green. I thought that was a really cool idea. AJ

  1. Funny this post - what a great idea. Saw this in HK sometime back and exclaimed delightedly to my friend, 'wow, green roofs on transport, what a innovative way to keep the city clean', only to be told that it was not a bus but a funeral van storing fresh flowers on its roof. Tch.
