C’mon all, let’s put some positive energy into this. It’s the intention that is significant here. The ideas are meant to be built on and improved, so positive reinforcement and practical ideas would be far more constructive and beneficial in the long run. My hats off to all that are working so hard to find solutions to cleaning up this planet and finding ways to co-exist harmoniously and sustainably in this sacred place.

interesting theory from an artistic standpoint. The idea of office space is a bit bizarre though. Unless you could persuade large organizations to relocate for tax reasons?

science fiction is not green design. how would these monstrous structures that would need to be incredibly complex to withstand a tough and dynamic ocean environment ever contribute more to the environment than their substantial nature detracts?

I am going to be annoying and say that your article’s title “Underwater Skyscrapers Recycle Waste From Great Pacific Garbage Patch” is misleading and should be “Underwater Skyscrapers COULD Recycle Waste From Great Pacific Garbage Patch”. I find this error over and over again in the eco-reporting industry and I think it contributes to the loss of authenticity. Please stop.
