21、   In the future, we could all work and live in buildings with their own ecosystems (生态系统). They are made to produce more energy than they use.

Toby is an engineer from Europe. He has now made wonderful models, showing what this new building could look like.

He said he was suggested by a kind of tree to create the towers. The Hyperion, found in Northern California, is the tallest tree in the world, reaching 115m. The buildings will be 120m high and have 1,000 homes, offices and working spaces, gyms, restaurants and swimming pools.

Because of the ecosystems, the buildings will also make fewer diseases.

The buildings will have city farms and small animal farms producing eggs and milk. "Farming can bring methane (甲烷) that produces energy, and then the energy is supplied to homes," said Toby.
