The Eco-Park Concept as an Implementation of the Integrated Approach to Sustainable Development
By utilizing many of appropriate technologies seen in the sustainability movement, we can create a process by which can begin to incorporate more ecologically appropriate ways of doing things into our everyday lives. Each aspect of the park tells a story:
Living machines that process bio-solids reawaken us to the reality that organic material needs to be return back into the natural cycle, and not land filled and treated as a waste but instead as a valuable resource.
Buildings with green roofs reduce heat built up in urban areas and absorb water during heavy rains mitigating potentially damaging flooding, while providing a more attractive roofline.
Alternative technologies such as fuel cells and solar panels can start to allow us to visualize the emergence of the hydrogen economy as a replacement to the fossil fuel based economy.
