seedbomb

seedbomb - Seedbomb is a non-military bomb that protects earth
from worsening desertification and lessens sandstorms.
After The 2nd world war, Gale Halvorson, an American pilot,
dropped candies in the name of hope for children in berlin.
The seedbomb is the bomb of hope like the candies of Gale Halvorson.
When a Seedbomb is released from an airplane,
Seedbomb is disassembled in the air and Seed capsules
inside of the bomb spread out widely and fall on the ground.

Wow. Do you think it counts as a "Cluster Munition"? Lol!

The field of Ecology is still in its infancy, and has a great distance to go before we can be confident that something like this will not completely fuck the ecosystem even more than it already is.

Interesting idea, but I hope this isn't serious, as the ecological fallout resulting from this could be enormous. Attempting to "reclaim" deserts in the name of ecology is a fools errand, as what's more likely is the disruption of an already fragile area, potentially introducing invasive and destructive non-native plants or even potentially dangerous native plants outside of their natural context.

Thanks Daniel, we didn't saw the 4th image before. On the other hand, if the plastic "melts" with the gently transpiration and the heat of the sunlight, how It wonÂ´t melt before it reaches the floor? Thanks

Fun presentation, and a great concept! Furf - check the 4th image and you may want to update your comment. There's even a nice little set of "sustainability" icons.

It is a good concept. But what material are the capsules made? Where will go all that trash? You have to consider the whole impact of your product. Lack of information is the diference between a good product and a bad one.
