Biowall - mean, green air-making machine


Contrary to some international perceptions, Canada is not constantly covered in the 'wet, white, cold stuff' - as I call snow - but there is a long stretch of time where natural greenery is literally a little thin on the ground. Therefore since moving to Canada I've gained an unprecedented appreciation for leaves on trees, green grass etc.

Fortunately during the snowy months there is a green reprieve from the white due to a clever-clogs idea called the biowall.

It's a particularly ingenious concept as not only does it provide pleasing-to-the-eye greenery but also assists in purifying the air, as demonstrated in the diagram below.
