YO CITI PLANT STAND


As I said, I would put some more info on the YO CITI task up.
Most of us know that global warming is a big problem that we get told to help with every now and again, we've watched Al' Gores movie we've had presentations on recycling at school etc. etc. We've all been there, and quite frankly it's a mission to actively do something, it takes time and commitment.
So here's my idea: To have a kind of pot holder that maximises the amount of plants per meter squared, IE. more oxygen per meter than before as the plant holder will have levels.
I was initially aiming for the high density areas with small and restricted spaces, such as high rise buildings with small balconies.
I have been working on it for bout 4 weeks now and can positively say that it has come a long way, initially it was relatively boxlike but has since morphed into a slender elegant form with arms that swivel 360 degrees, it will hold 12 pots of different sizes.
To me it would be so much easier to allow most people to own these pots and let them unconsciously help, than let them do nothing about global warming and the environment at all.
