'Ihren - sehr niedrigen - Energiebedarf deckt die Lebensgemeinschaft wahrscheinlich aus Restbeständen von organischen Kohlenstoffverbindungen unter Zuhilfenahme des einzigartigen Schwefel-Eisen-Kreislaufs. Licht und Sauerstoff werden nicht benötigt.' [derStandard.at]

Poster "Approaches to Sustainable Landscaping" @ 'Urban Futures: the Challenge of Sustainability - AGS Annual Meeting 2009' ETH Zurich

The AGS Annual Meeting, ETH Zurich 26-29 January 2009:

From the conference synopsis:
"By 2050, over 6 billion people - three quarters of the world's population – will live in cities. Can this dramatic demographic change be harnessed to ensure progress towards sustainability?
Our propositions:
- cities, properly managed, can be transformative arenas in which natural resources are used more efficiently and economically, contributing to a high quality of life for everyone;
- reinventing cities offers one of the most effective ways of reducing human impacts upon the environment and achieving greater sustainability."
