For my postcard I took an image of Manhattan and edited wetlands onto it. In 2050 my prediction is that to mitigate climate change and water levels rising, NYC will implement floating islands of a new wet land environment surrounding the island that relies on natural systems in place to create healthy soil that will absorb the excess water.  In the movie “Symphony of Soil” we watched for class we learned that healthy soil with thick root systems and diverse plant life can absorb more water and be self sustaining.  This built environment will be made to mimic natural systems in place and not be reliant on nitrogen rich fertilizers that will further pollute the waters. Instead, with the technology advancements in 2050, we will be able to create this city project that will produce jobs, and possibly use some of the allocated soil to grow small amounts of produce.  This space will not be commercialized to avoid traditional farming methods that will ruin the soil, instead its purpose is to help the city be more sustainable and help flooding. In addition, the plant life will be able to soak up some of the pollution created by the city allowing for air filtration and cleaner air. Through this method the city will not have to spend millions of dollars in flood protection and damage control.
