Some people had the idea of installing vending machines bombs flowers, like those designed by Studio in Los Angeles Common , made using the old gum dispensers (see last photo)

Fascinating though the utopian project "Seedbomb" prepared by the designer Hwang Jin-wook .
His work is inspired by a legend that dates back to after the Second World War: it is said that Gale Halvorson, a bomber pilot, flew over Berlin by dropping candy to the children instead of bombs.
The idea of Hwang, whose aim is to combat deforestation and desertification, is to bombard the planet in the arid zone of the seed capsules very special. These biodegradable plastic bags containing fertile soil that provides nutrients and moisture to the seed, until the plant does not grow enough to survive with his forces.
