This is a really great idea - Well Done to Pieter Hoff, the inventor!
I hope he sells lots of them and that as a result, many, many trees are grown in places where they can stabilise the ground and help prevent soil erosion.
It will take many years before mankind can begin to undo the damage caused by cutting down so many of the world\'s trees but this approach could be a step in the right direction.

excellent

Lets get behind this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If this is made out of plastic then it will mean millions of them out in the wild and seas.
It has to be bio degradable or it\'ll be a nightmare. [Ed note: Apparently there is also a biodegradable model]

Very clever idea with an extremely important objective, but it\'s WAY too expensive. This idea will flop as long as they try to get an \"innovative premium\" price for it. Something like $10 would probably provide a reasonable rate of return for their investment and manufacturing costs.

What a great invention! CLose to revolutionary, I\'d say.
Although, the 6th paragraph should read like this: \"The Waterboxx is the creation of Pieter Hoff, a Dutch inventor who doesn\'t understand the carbon cycle.\"

The study results are promising. However, 20 euro ($27) per box seems high, probably 10x the cost of the seedling. It is not obvious how long each should remain around the tree and if they can be reused.

This invention can really change lives on arid land. I am thinking specifically of the Dine\'s reservation where our US soldiers destroyed orchards and Native American culture for generations. The BIA needs to take hold of this and run with it!!!

Great idea, but the price really needs to come down for this to take off, especially since a lot of deserts may be located in poorer parts of the world. I also agree that there should be a cheap, biodegradable version available. The cheapest you can purchase the Groasis Waterboxx for right now is $14 per box (USD) if you purchase 7200 units for $100,728 (http://shop.groasis.com/). If they can\'t produce them cheaply, then they should have the manufacturing done overseas, such as in China, and they could probably hit a more affordable price point of $1/each. I hope they are doing this for a good cause and not just to turn a large profit.

The price is unrealistic and way beyond what something like this would cost to produce profitably. Save the world, don\'t try to rip it off.
$1.00 each in quantity would be profitable
