What makes an ecosystem for certain insects in different climates?
How do invasive insects and endangered insects interact?
What makes an earthship?
What are the benefits of an earthship?
Did you know that over 40% of the land that we use and claim is purely farm fields and agriculture? Not to mention the amount of not so eco-friendly products in order for the growth of those crops; agriculture is not actually as sustainable as we think it is. Earthships have been a recent way of building with recycled materials and even with those recycled materials, creating its own space indoors to make a garden of your own, having geothermal energy, and etc. I have created a miniature model of an earthship designed by me, including factors such as sustainable agriculture and insect eco-systems.

It is super important to have a good relationship with your client especially when designing and implementing in an urban and landscape area
The importance of plants being in urban areas comes with a lot of different factors;
Clean air as the plants collect all that dust and dirt particles, and quite literally cleans the air by absorbing carbon dioxide that’s in the oxygen
It’s like painting a landscape (literally), plants are like the paint of nature and using it in any urban spaces and areas can create a greener and nicer looking spaces
Shelter also plays a big role into the plants that go into urban spaces, and creates shade for homeless people
Community gardens are also an amazing way to install plants within an urban area
There are a lot of variables to designing a greener area for certain places, trees and plants need separate nutrients from the sun or shade, and even things such as the environment around them or even the soil that it is on. If a window was right next to a plant that burns up quickly and needs more shade, the sun would reflect off of the window onto the plant; ending up actually frying the plant and leaving it to die.
It is also about how the clients take care of the plants that are in their property; some plants that they request through landscaping companies are going to have to be native to withstand all kinds of weathers that may be there at that specific area.
