Green Solutions
Fast Food Cleans Up
The global fast-food chain McDonald’s is working hard to change its image. Tired of being constantly
criticised, McDonald’s has begun to take environmental issues to heart. The chain’s first major decision was to
turn its used cooking oil into biodiesel – an environmentally friendly transportation fuel. As a result of this
decision, McDonald’s restaurants now recycle about 90% of their cooking oil and use the biodiesel to run more
than half of their delivery lorries. In addition, McDonald’s has decided to buy its coffee and soya beans only
from companies that do not destroy the rainforests. This decision is good for the environment and for the
farmers, who now get better pay, medical care and education for themselves and their families.
The Freedom Ship: A Floating City
Experts predict that overcrowding will force Earth’s inhabitants to search for new lifestyles. Living in outer
space is one option; living on a ship is another. Plans for the construction of the first oceanic community – a
floating city of up to 40,000 people – are already in progress. Called the Freedom Ship, it is going to be 1,317
metres long and 221 metres wide, and will weigh 2.4 million tonnes. Norman Nixon, who developed the idea,
says that within three years, shipbuilders will have completed the ship. During this time, they will be adding
schools, shops, banks, restaurants, a hospital and a library to the ship. According to Nixon, the Freedom Ship is
going to be an environmentally friendly community, with compulsory recycling of glass, paper and metal. Are
you interested? Flats will cost from $180,000 to $2.5 million.
Grow a Home
Architects Mitchell Joachim and Javier Arbona are busy developing a house they say will grow from a few
seeds into a two-storey, water-recycling, energy-saving home. Called the Fab Tree Hab, it is a combination of
ancient and ultra-modern technology. The architects’ plan is to create the walls of the Fab Tree Hab from the
roots of a tree. They will be packing the walls with clay and then plastering them to keep out the rain. If the
plan works, the water supply will come from rainwater collected on the roof. The architects predict that each
house will take five years to grow. Once grown, customers can replant their house wherever they like.
However, there are still a few problems to be worked out. For example, how are the neighbours going to feel
about a house that keeps growing?
