Topic: Money spent on green areas!
Team: Diego López, Javier González, Mani Khosrovani and Chrisa-d Karakan
MAPPING!
Nature has been self sustainable since the early beginning of life. That’s why is so illogical the use of money on green areas.
According to axiology, money is a subjective value. This means that it’s not a goal itself but only a mean to a goal, and true positive goals are called objective values. This subjective value, money, is by far the most important value nowadays on the world. That’s why it should be used to solve another unresolved values of the city, instead of being used on something that should be self sustainable.
PROPOSAL!
The main problems of the green areas are:
-HUMAN CONTACT – This causes the frequently:
cleaning of the grass areas (caused by the mistreat of pedestrians)
the pruning of the trees (to avoid the invasion of pedestrian/cars areas and
ornament)
-IRRIGATION SYSTEMS – This causes the frequently:
maintenance of the systems
use of processed water (with the cost of the treatment because is drinking water)
use of tankers (to deliver the water)
The proposals
- to separate the vegetation from the pedestrian “layer”
- to create a new irrigation system that uses rainwater
