Comments for NYC's New Incredible Eco-Island at http://www.ecogeek.org , comment 1 to 7 out of 7 comments http://www.ecogeek.org Sun, 08 Nov 2009 16:24:28 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.3 http://www.ecogeek.org/architecture/2501#comment-26838 well i mean it is enriching the idea that this eco friendly things are good but it seems a little in a way ironic. if the people are promoting being green then y r they making people come across on a ferry!?!?! wats up with tht? then its just hurting more of the Earth by leaving behind our carbon foot print. why not just fix a part of new york, save the island for habitat to animals (they need homes to) and still have the same effect? stupid yet smart. however im not goin til they change the ferry thing.

Sounds like the usual lot of boring American rederic. yea liberty, woohoo name a park after it, call it "tolerance" this time. Won't change the fact that internationally the US is far from tolerant and that our every day "liberties" are continually being snatched up from us. Yes the US has a history of freedom and tolerance but our current foothold in the world is far from the radical thinkers who started this nation. - Dylan Mon, 26 Jan 2009 11:21:51 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/architecture/2501#comment-23461 Wow. That's really amazing. Can't wait to see more. However, it seems like it's sort of the Disney World of the Green Trend. Which.... could be for good or ill... It will have to be watched closely. - Joshua Sun, 25 Jan 2009 13:18:37 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/architecture/2501#comment-23422 We are not so sure that a non-economical eco-Island - a gigantic black hole - is going to make it despite all the press releases. Our economically self-sustaining Tolerance Park (i.e., Tolerance Island) is more likely the ultimate winner. It takes some time as you can see on http://216.187.52.48/gi/giproject.pdf - Joep de Koning Fri, 23 Jan 2009 23:28:05 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/architecture/2501#comment-23417 So, it's an island.... which means that every visitor will have to arrive by boat. I hope those boats are yachts or powered by solar cells, otherwise there will be a lot of pollution just to ship thousands/hundreds of thousands/millions of people to this 'green' theme park. Maybe kayaks could be provided and people could paddle across themselves.... - Stephen Barnes Fri, 23 Jan 2009 16:13:59 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/architecture/2501#comment-23415 $1? Am I reading that right? In any case, it sounds/looks pretty darn cool. Looking forward to hearing more about it in the future. - Tom Fri, 23 Jan 2009 14:31:53 +0100
