“But if you want greenery on a building nonetheless, do I have an idea for you – a portable, modular, scalable solution called ‘potted plants on your balcony’.”

    This significantly oversees the fact that plants help in cooling the building down and to increase air quality.

    Shure its not “The solution” but there is no singular solution to our problems, it can help. And as long as we don’t build to high (wich is super inefficient) it should be a perfectly good part of the solution, and one that does not cost much.
