I’d like to multiply your success and would very much like to speak with you about building upon your idea by building an urban greenhouse here in New Zealand. My group is also working on an urban eco-village as example for how to think different and I think these two ideas would complement perfectly. Are you interested in speaking?

Yo considero que es un proyecto que tiene un gran impacto en nuestra sociedad y que sirve como ejemplo para las ciudades urbanizadas donde los espacios sean pocos, pero no solo para ese tipo de ciudades ya que con base en lo leido resulta mejor aplicar dicha pues reduce el uso de agua y de pesticidas.

Considero que para chiapas es un proyecto que funcionaria bastante bien ya que contamos con recursos naturales necesarios asi como tambien ayudaria conservar las tierras
