The vertical Forest helps to build a micro-climate and to filter dust particles. Diversity of the plants helps to create humidity, and absorb CO2 and dust, produces oxygen, protects people and houses from the suns rays.  Plants were pre-cultivated allowing the plants to get used to the conditions they were placed in on the buildings. `
