Fish farms as well as ocianic orchards could be put created in this way, water world look out. tidal and wave generators should also be braught into the mix of power production methods, this would ensure a reasonable continum of power production no matter the situation.

Than it would make a good impact, I'm sure!I really like the idea of the barge, but I think things could be better integrated. The container on deck could go below deck, saving space for example. If this could be expanded to a larger scale (linking barges together?) it could become awesome!

On the bench planks secure 'earth boxes' and grow stuff. http://www.earthbox.com/ As far as growing on roofs are concerned… think temporary fold up bleacher seating at parades or high school basketball games.

I wonder, has anyone thought of putting urban gardens on a green roof? Why not combine two needs into one solution - obviously it won't work for everyone, but it could be a good alternative for some situations. Wow- that is awesome!
