Solar town Planting with Bunding
Solar Town and Village Planting Planning and Design Projects
Abstract: May 11, 2012 Jan. 10, 2011
A CO2 absorption strategy proposed by tree planting new solar town and village plans provides place and work for people displaced by global warming, pollution, etc. Full town and village area tree planting has maximum potential tree products as infrastructure patterns form on degraded land with close-planted interspersed tree, shrub, and grass species. Fast growth short-term yield trees, micro-climate protecting long-term slow growth trees, nitrogen fix soil, and provide food, fuel, and building material within a few years with adequate water. Water conservation works (small trenches, mounds) catch rain and seeds starting at watershed tops. Gully plugs and very small dams form circulation ways for people. Shaded walking and cycle paths, avenues, forest perma-culture parks with local sanitation systems, future building sites, urban and agriculture patterns are tree formed by a small hard working group. Trees can have good survival rates where people live (with water and compost material) caring for place with long term home commitment, beginning with indigenous tree, shrub and grass species that have survived many generations and extreme weather conditions. From tree centers (nurseries, seed banks) outlying areas are planted-maintained. Solar buildings and technology includes modular durable structural frames for low energy in-fills beginning with 1-2 levels, and foundations for ‘growing’ taller with the trees, with top solar collectors. Solar village houses have thru-mirror-wall greenhouse type oven kitchens. Environmental regeneration and town and village patterns tree formed with basic renewable–solar energy infrastructure planning may reduce the damage and loss of life due to global warming pollution and associated climate change extremes with modest investment.
