Hasta La Gadget!

There are a lot of buses driving around urban areas, but sadly not much green. The solution? Start growing gardens on the roofs of buses, of course.

Dubbed Bus Roots, the project was created as a thesis aimed at “reconnecting urban communities with nature in a practical and playful way.” Since many urban centers have very little actual free space that can be used to grow gardens, utilizing the space available on the tops of buses could be a potential alternative. The creator of Bus Roots also sees the project as having more than just an aesthetic effect, with other benefits including the mitigation of urban heat island effect, acoustical and thermal insulation, and storm water reduction.
