Post of the week: Growing Buildings!

grow-tunnel

Man are we exhausted! We’ve got a whole lot of good content in the pipes, butterfly attracting factories, reviews of the hottest theory, and multiple other zoo projects but there just isn’t enough time in the day to give you the content that you, and more importantly, we deserve. So this will have to do with the promise of more next week.

Don’t get us wrong we think it’s a step in the right direction but falls short of our, we admit perhaps lofty, expectations. Enjoy and see you next week! Leave a comment here and on Treehugger!
