Critical remarks[edit]

Groasis is not very positive about the chinese attempts to beat desertification and replanting of forests. They portray this as only 'monoculture' and call them 'green deserts'. However, real data about desertfication and forestration shows that China is about the only region in the world where the amount of forests increase, and almost everywhere else, forests shrink. So, Groasis, don't be so arrogant, and when Groasis has minimally planted the same amount of trees as China, let them come back and talk. Robheus (talk) 02:10, 25 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Cross-section would be great...[edit]

Why not add a cross section showing devices construction; words are kind of low bandwidth. 71.139.161.224 (talk) 18:49, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Is it economic?[edit]

So far I can see it costs 33 US-Dollar per Box. I guess this is a month's wage in some countries. -- BanditoX (talk) 21:58, 10 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
