CO2 Scraper
A green concept design… The CO2 Scraper is a large-scale construction for holding between two to four hundred large-size trees that will absorb potentially dangerous pollutants and convert global warming-related CO2 (carbon dioxide) into breathable oxygen.
Designed to be placed near factories or other major sources of pollution, the CO2 Scraper is a relatively simple, primarily concrete, construction in which trees would be supplied with water and nutrients via a windmill-powered pump system. Primarily energy self-sustaining via windmills (the only outside power required would be electricity for an elevator to be used by maintenance personnel), the Scraper will be “carbon positive,” that is, it will absorb carbon dioxide and increase the amount of life-giving oxygen in the atmosphere.
Aside from absorbing nutrients and converting carbon dioxide into breathable air, the structure would also provide a significant amount of shade, while also cooling the air during the hot summer months because of the temperature-lowering properties of hundreds of trees.
