I chose this text because I was highly interested in the topic to serve energy using natural environment still not usual as natural resource, the sahara soil. I am going to relate it using natural phenomenons into my essay. The artists built a model of industry and energy generator to show how to grow crops using sahara’s rich soil. People are negotiating to develop an unused environment like sahara. The food source can be anywhere but effective one could be developed by designers and performers. I want to find about how they do that and why the activity is important.
