A City That Turns Garbage Into Energy Copes With a Shortage @ New York Times
Maybe not a lot of people know this but Mexico City is build over chinampas. The palce where the city was built was once a lake connected by chinampas that made agriculture a huge economic activity working with the environment and at the same time obtaining great benefits. These chinampas are a very ingenious way to cultivate non existing land.

Quizás no mucha gente sepa esto, pero la ciudad de México está construida sobre chinampas. El lugar donde se encuentra la ciudad que una vez fue un lago conectado por chinampas que hicieron de la agricultura una gran actividad en armonía con el ambiente y, al mismo tiempo obteniendo grandes beneficios. Las chinampas son una forma muy ingeniosa para cultivar la tierra que en realidad no existe.
41 blue whales or 10 Boeing 747 jumbo jets = 5,000 tons of trash recovered from the Ocean Conservancy’s 2012 International Coastal Cleanup.

“the garden is simply spectacular. The mature, fully-landscaped rooftop spreads over 1,600 square feet on multiple levels with fascinating architectural elements, making for intimate seating areas, sensory dining opportunities and infinite possibilities for entertaining. A rare, sensory retreat in the heart of the city.”
