Natural Residents



Part 1
The summary:

There is a place in Sweden called Turning Torso. This place is located in the vicinity of the green area and beautiful nature. Not just people live there, but there are lots of living organisms such as birds, insects, bats and sedum-covered roofs. Malmo city is one of the examples of developments designed to promote sustainable urban living. There are 1300 apartments in the first phase called Bo01. These apartments create new ways of renewable energy, waste management, and sustainable transport.
Annika Kruuse who was employed as Area Ecologist to monitor progress of Bo01 explains how they manage the place for animals which live there. She says that there are some species which have moved to the Western Harbour. Some seabirds have moved to Bo01 such as blackbird, white wagtail and the common gull.
The developers are planning to build two more development phases like the Bo01. The developers say this will attract people to buy these departments. As a result people will be more aware of green credentials. It is important to encourage our children to live in houses designed to promote sustainability and biodiversity. Malmo is a great example of how to keep the natural life and it is a first step towards incorporating biodiversity as standard in town planning.


Part 2
Main idea:


People should think about the environment and be more aware. There are a lot of efforts to build and maintain the rights of nature, and care more about the plants and green areas because the plants are an important part in our lives. We have to educate our children to love nature and animals, and we must think about the future.



Part 3
Opinion:


* I think this article is important and useful because it is connected with our lives and environment.
* We have to encourage the developments like Turning Torso in Sweden and Malmo because it will help our planet to face the changes in the world.
* I suggest other countries in the world should follow projects like Turning Torso in Sweden and Malmo to keep our environment green and beautiful.
