		<description>Is it just assumed that the forest on top will provide fruits and vegetables or was it forgotten, with more emphasis placed on the fish, bread and animal products. Because honestly, it&#039;ll be incredibly difficult to fit all that on top of the building, especially if you&#039;re trying to provide for everyone who&#039;ll live there. I do think that the methods of generating electricity are good ideas, but it won&#039;t really be self-sufficient food-wise. And where does the water come from? Does it have a desalination mechanism at the base (with the cloud symbol)? Or tanks at the top? Both options also won&#039;t provide for an entire building. What is the building made out of? How will it be zero-impact if the materials required are dug out of the earth through energy intensive means?

On the other hand, the energy harvesting is brilliant and the tentacles are a fascinating idea. It would probably end up being one company per building, however, so families would either have a single working adult or two adults working in the same company, if one ignores the restaurants and such. It also isn&#039;t too deep; it&#039;s just taller than the Leaning Tower of Pisa (56.7m) so if there is an emergency diving won&#039;t be ruled out as an exit strategy (although it&#039;s still a little iffy). There are some obvious problems with the idea but it is good to see people attempting to address the problems caused by climate change. ***</description>

		<description>Maybe if the station was filled with water..... The air pressure ( the only pressure the humans would be exposed too ) would be kept consent throughout the whole structure.</description>
