Fukien Tea Plant

According to Kim Ang, Corporate Relations Manager of World Wide Fund-Philippines, the builders utilized a specie of plant called Fukien tea, which is known to absorb air pollutants.

Not only recycled materials ( 3,600 bottles of Coke used for pots)  were used in the construction of the "green" billboard, a drip irrigation system was also installed for efficient water distribution.

Botanist Anthony Gao said, “This billboard helps alleviate air pollution within its proximate areas as it can absorb a total of 46,800 pounds of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, on estimate.”



Wow, that's a lot of Carbon Dioxide! Kewl!
