S and talk lately about the Chamber of Svalbard, a giant storehouse of seeds near the North Pole. The news is interesting from any point of view: take the store as "the doomsday bunker" or simply as a reflection on the potential life that vibrates the dark interior of each seed.
seed capsules are great, feed and defend the embryo that lives inside until the end of his days, ie until it decays into a favorable environment for life or that food supplies inside are exhausted.
Nature seeded defending his kingdom, the system adapts to the needs and accurately meets the parcel. Beyond plants, coral seeds across the oceans to get to another coral. Just as the man's sperm reaches the uterus of women. The universe itself would come from a seed according to this logic .

green cities: Dongtan and Masdar
green eco-towns or cities. Also known as sustainable cities. They are cities that following an urban plan and respecting the environment environment are now manufactured in different regions of the world, with the aim of demonstrating that it is possible to scale it had only been possible in small communities . As a point worth noting that the quality of "green city" does NOT guarantee an exercise in social autonomy. However, it is a good experiment.
Construction began in late 2006, and plan that the project ends in 2010, the year that touches Shanghai to host the World Expo's largest life green. "The first thing visitors notice is the silence, because there are so few cars on the streets." The city will be almost free of pollution, and electricity come from wind turbines and solar panels. Water from sinks and toilets will be recycled to operate the toilet cisterns.
cars will not be banned, but all the neighborhood schools, shops and workplaces are close enough to reach on foot. Most Chinese still do not own automobiles, and is not intended to require them in the new Dongtan.
farms within city limits provided the Most of their food and their waste water fertilize the fields. The city will have numerous parks, lakes and pagodas. There will be a marina for sail boat and an equestrian center. So the "green life" does not lack for entertainment.

Masdar - United Arab
The venue has been the desert of Abu Dhabi, where under the name of Masdar, will build a city of 6 square kilometers, capable of housing 50,000 people and 1500 businesses which envisages becoming a core of academic and corporate research on clean technologies for energy production.
Pedestrian streets are narrow and mostly be covered by solar panels. Water supply plant will desalinizante sea water powered by the sun. In terms of food, fruits and vegetables will be grown in a greenhouse nearby.
Masdar is estimated to recycle up to 99% of waste by converting organic composting, and reusing and recycling the rest (including sewage). Construction will begin next March with completion scheduled for late 2009.
