The 342-acre self contained neighbourhood will comprise more than 70 buildings (homes, hospitals, schools, hotels, offices). They will be covered with 40,000 trees and almost a million plants. It will have a total of 30,000 people capacity.
The city will absorb 10,000 tons of carbon dioxide and 57 tons of pollutants per year, and produce 900 tons of oxigen per year while decreasing air temperature.

This picture speaks louder than words, showing us how using a disposable coffee cup on a daily basis builds up A LOT of waste, even over the space of just a week or month, in comparison to using a reusable coffee cup.
.
Always remember, those little daily choices do make a big, big difference ❤️

More than 41,000 people will run the London Marathon tomorrow. But when they reach mile 23, instead of being passed a plastic bottle, they'll be handed edible pods made of seaweed extracts!!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's one way race organisers are hoping to reduce the huge amount of plastic waste generated during the endurance run. They want to cut the number of plastic bottles used by 200,000!!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The @oohowater seaweed capsules are made by a London-based startup called #SkippingRocksLab. They can be cheaper to produce than plastic and the thin membrane that forms the pod is edible and tasteless.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The pods even biodegrade within six weeks if they're not eaten — a far cry from the 450 or more years it takes a plastic bottle to decompose!! Impressive!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sunday's race marks the first time they'll be used at a marathon, but the pods can be also be used for people on the move, such as runners and music festival attendees. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They can also be filled with a variety of liquids, including Espresso Martinis which proved to be the most popular product at festivals, where eating the packaging is also part of the experience!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The London Marathon organisers are taking other steps to make this year's event more sustainable.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Energy drinks will be served in compostable cups at two other drink stations, reducing the total number of plastic bottles used from 920,000 in 2018 to 704,000 this year.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
All water bottles handed out this year will be at least partially made of recycled plastic, and the discarded containers will be recycled.
Double tap to high-five this little fella and if you agree that NO turtle should die because of single-use plastic ❤️

Did you know the London marathon organisers have swapped single use for seaweed?
.
In a bid to reduce the amount of waste created by the event and promote more sustainable options.
.
Yet again more positive news! Well done @londonmarathon

Did you know we are set to produce 300 million tonnes of plastic in 2019?
.
It's clear a large reduction in that number can be made by simply not using it in unessecary ways.
.
Lets make sure we get that number down before we repeated it again in 2020! .
