Global Footprint Network is an international think tank working to advance sustainability through use of the Ecological Footprint , a resource accounting tool that measures how much nature we have, how much we use and who uses what. By making ecological limits central to decision-making, we are working to end overshoot and create a society where all people can live well, within the means of one planet.

There are three vertical gardening planters in the gallery below. All three systems have been used in both residential and commercial applications with much success. The first few images are of Grow Vert living wall panels by Bright Green. There are two different sized panels (10 and 45), and each are planted, then hung on the wall using their included mounting bracket. These planters must be planted before they’re hung vertically. This allows you to plan out your wall on the ground before it’s hung.
