Ecólogos noruegos proponen forestar el Sáhara
Una tecnología de plantar bosques con la ayuda de energía solar y agua marina permitirá crear zonas verdes en el desierto Sáhara.
Se instituyó la compañía Proyecto Forestal del Sáhara con el fin de crear zonas verdes en este desierto usando tecnologías de energía renovable y agua marina, se acaba de abrir el primer invernadero en Jordania y se espera vender en el futuro la tecnología de forestación a los países de África y Oriente Medio
El agua marina llega por tuberías al invernadero por acción de la gravedad y gracias a la energía solar se transforma en agua dulce permitiendo cultivar plantas y hortalizas, además se humedece el suelo adyacente al invernadero de modo que allí se puede plantar árboles.
Es importante encontrar un área situada por debajo del nivel del mar, para excluir la necesidad de bombear agua marina.

Burned wood: the Japanese technique that beautifies and protects the material
Elegant, ecological and resistant: the wood treated with the millenary technique called Yakisugi challenges the weather and the passage of time. In the world of design and construction, a Japanese ancestral technique is gaining prominence. This is the Yakisugi (also known as Shou Sugi Ban), a method that consists in burning the surface of the wood to make it more resistant and attractive. Although it may seem contradictory, exposing wood to fire gives natural protection against moisture, insects and deterioration over time.
