The document discusses sustainable alternatives to chemical fertilizers, highlighting Sumagrow's natural soil products that enhance crop yields and soil health. It addresses the destruction of coral reefs and introduces the Biorock technique, which uses electricity to accelerate coral growth. Additionally, it presents the Bosco Verticale project in Milan, a vertical forest building designed to promote urban biodiversity and sustainability.

2. Nix Chemical Fertilizers
• While chemical
fertilizers make crops
grow they are
sometimes harmful to
the environment.
• The solution to this is
to either create your
own natural fertilizers
or replace them with
eco-friendly microbes.

3. SumaGrow
• The company SumaGrow
offers 100% natural soil
products for higher yields
and healthier crops.
• SumaGrow secures
naturally occurring nitrogen
and other nutrients into the
soil, protects against
disease, reduces runoff,
and can be used for a range
of products.

4. SumaGrow
• SumaGrow helps to
restore and maintain
soil health and
fertility.
• To learn more about
SumaGrow visit their
website.

5. Destruction of Coral Reefs
• Coral reefs are continuing
to be destroyed.
• As providing habitation
for a quarter of all marine
species and protection of
coastlines from erosion
and storm damage, they
are vital to people and
ecosystems.

6. Shock Reefs Back to Life
• Unfortunately
conservation efforts
have done little to
help, but in 2000 a
technique using low
voltage electricity to
grow limestone on
metal cages gave
corals new energy and
stronger structures to
grow on.

7. Biorock
• Nicknamed
“Biorock,” this
process speeds up
the growth of coral
and increases its
resistance to stress.
• Learn more about
this technique on the
Biorockwebsite!

8. Reach for the Sky
• Urban sprawl has
various negative
effects on the
environment, in
particular the killing of
trees.
• Recently a creative
solution was created:
planting upward.

9. BoscoVerticale
• Construction is currently
taking place in Milan
where a two-building
apartment complex will
double as the world’s first
vertical forest.
• This complex, known as
BoscoVerticale, will
contribute to the
regeneration of the
environment and urban
biodiversity.

10. BoscoVerticale
• Each unit will consist
of humidity creating
and CO2-filtering
plants.
• These plants will also
aid in absorbing dust
particles, producing
oxygen, protecting the
public from radiation,
and saving energy.

11. BoscoVerticale
• They will receive their
nourishment from
greywater (filtered,
recycled water deriving
from laundry,
dishwashing, and
bathing) and the
buildings themselves will
derive most of their
power from the sun.
