a food wall, fruit forests, a hue garden and rooftop gardens
• Develop and expanding the compost toilets and showers
• Revamp the mountainwater system and grey-water systems
• Build a multifunctional classroom/intern accommodation, gathering areas and wooden trellises to provide rain-proof, shaded work stations on terraces
