“This is part of making history. This project will help lessen the carbon footprint of the world, Ahsoon said. "Living on an island, you experience global warming firsthand. Beach erosions and other noticeable changes are a part of life here. 。
"It’s a serious problem, and this project will hopefully set a good example for everyone else to follow." 。
