Yup! You read it right! It's a BILLBOARD made of PLANTS!
I read it in an article on the web. It's the first billboard made of plants in the Philippines. It's actually made of Fukien Tea Plant, a plant that absorbs air pollutants. And they made it in partnership with Coca Cola.
I think it is very nice. And helping the environment is one good thing.
What do you think about this fellow MyLotters?
This is a link on the said article. Hope you can read it and appreciate too like I do. ^_^

Wow, what a cool idea, though I wonder how hard it would be to make one with letters and numbers on it..

Wow how cool!, right? I like that idea and I was about to ask a bunch of questions that I had thought up while I was reading the article but the article did answer them for me. That is really cool and maybe a few of these will pop up in the United States and we can enjoy them as well!
What is the plant native too? I'm not sure if I read that or not, if I did I missed it.

Oh I was thinking the same. It was not written in the article. I want to have one of those plants actually. I think every household should have at least 5-10 of those plants. That could help the world.

Hi!
That's an amazing innovation. It's high time that these giant companies do their part to protect and conserve the environment. I'm just wondering, will this be able to withstand strong typhoons? I mean, we are always faced with typhoons and lately, we've been experiencing super typhoons and there had been incidents of falling billboards. How will this kind of billboard withstand super strong winds during a super typhoon? Or this comes with a mechanism to be put down when the wind is strong?
Still, this is a very good innovation. Kudos to Coca Cola and WWF.

That we have to know. You are right, will it withstand the typhoons. Well I do hope so because it is really a nice idea.

I totally agree with you! The company was not only able to tell what company they are but helped the environment too.
