Urban Air Project in LA

The world we live in is full of advertisements.  You start a day with ads on the newspaper, when you chat with your friends on the web, ads are every where. Even when you are in the car, the billboards are full with letters and colors.

My friend who lives in LA tells me a news regarding an interesting eco-project, called 'Urban Air'.  The project plans to change outdoor advertising billboards into green bamboo gardens. Each Urban Air installation will feature live bamboo plants. Stephen Glassman, a LA based artist, has initiated the project since 2010. He is collaborating with environmental engineers, billboard fabricators and other many specialists to set the first prototype in LA. Eventually Mr.Glassman plans to build Urban Air gardens all over the cities in the world.

Many people doubt that how long the air garden would survive in the polluted air of LA. The same doubt came on to me as well frankly. But the first step is the important one for the change.

It will be really cool that, in a traffic jam, if you look up in the air, and the bamboo garden will hang in a sky and greet you well.
