Bunker Revitalization unker

water enters tree where contamination is cleaned up

Carbon Sequestration:

Biological carbon sequestration: Through dense planting of the site, as well as planting in the already built bunkers. CO2 binds to plants during photosynthesis, exchanging it for oxygen as a purifying emission.

Geological carbon sequestration: Carbon dioxide is stored in underground geologic formations, such as rocks. When fossil fuels are captured and stored, they can be used until an alternative source of energy is introduced.

Clean Soil

Living Wall:

Allowing the wall to be taken over by both plants and animals. Plants roots are thin and can grow through the cement. Birds can build nests in the cracks of the abandoned bunkers.

Phytoremediation:

Phytoremediation involves using plants to clean up contaminated environments. Many contaminants can be removed by plants, including metals, pesticides, explosives and oil.

Natural processes can help plants clean up contaminants as deeply as their roots can reach, such as:

•Store contaminants in roots, stems, or leaves.

•They can be converted to less harmful chemicals in the root zone or within the plant.

•Vaporize them and release them into the air.

•In the soil, contaminants can sorb (stick to) the roots, where “microbes” live.
