The Egyptian desert is set to host the African continent’s first vertical forest!

again, it is always late at night that i discover things that sparkle my writing interest.not so long ago, i was scrolling my Facebook around 2am in the morning because i had insomnia and was too tired to study till i came across an article that  made my eyeballs expand and heart race from excitement  and at the same time the frustration of not having the freedom to scream or dance it out because my roommates were asleep and i was not ready to be baptized with sarcasm if i dared to wake them up with my noise😂

it was an article posted by World Economic forum with the the following title written in BOLD letters

Africa is set to get its first vertical forest!

my heart skipped a little..okay am lying,it was actually racing but not in a bad way as it does when am anxious. i was genuinely happy because this has been one of my biggest fantasies,..well other than than that of having a girl’s camping trip in the amazon rain forest itself and touring biosphere 2 in California desert.

*if you know me, you know that other than science and a good hamburger with double cheese am obsessed with nature and every boring stuff about conservation and the complexity of the universe.

so, back to our topic of discussion;

The Egyptian desert set to host the African continent’s first vertical forest!

this is a huge accomplishment and milestone in the fight against climate change because first of all new trees will be planted in large numbers thereby promoting reforestation and increasing the amount of CO2  absorbed from the atmosphere while simultaneously producing Oxygen which then equals to cleaner air and less asthma cases for all of us and less work for the World Health Organisation. fair enough

and the good news is that the trees are not  planted on horizontal ground as traditional forests but in vertical forests taking up less space on the environment which can be used for wildlife habitation or human civilization.

with the introduction of vertical forests, Cairo is set to grow from severe overcrowding, traffic congestion and air pollution into a smart and green city🥰

meanwhile, a similar project Liuzhou Forest City is under construction in the Southern Chinese and is estimated to have more than 40,000 tress and 1 million plants growing on the city’s buildings.

dear diary,

you were right all along

it turns out there is still hope for a green oasis.
