It makes use of rainwater and sunlight that otherwise goes to waste in cities, and according to a Spanish architect friend of mine, it also reduces the need for air conditioning in the building to which it is attached. The problem is, my Spanish is rubbish, and he gets very excited indeed by this idea.

This is just another example of awesome solutions for problems on earth such as energy, food, decent housing, etc. Damned if I know why we don't implement these types of solutions world wide for all people.
