Urban Agriculture: Making use of Marginal Spaces







These 3 images speak to one of the themes of the article: making use of marginal spaces. In the article waste gas is being used to heat and modify the atmosphere in greenhouses. In these photos, we see urban agriculture taking place. These programs can take place on rooftops, or in spaces which may have previously been filled with trash or left totally unused. This sort of ingenuity is in keeping with the spirit of our class and conveys the sort of potential our article espouses: waste not, want not. If we hope to reduce our impact on the planet that we live on, thinking outside the box and taking a creative tack towards problems such as waste management will be a requirement.
