This is New Albion on Mars
00:36
Conserved animal and plant life at
New Albion from sub-tropical and
00:41
tropical zones on Earth are
accommodated in warmer Ways.
00:46
Early attempts at such conservation relied
on Compartments whose temperatures were
00:52
substantially different from
that of their neighbours.
00:56
This was difficult and
expensive to maintain.
01:01
As more Ways were built at New Albion we
were able to more efficiently maintain
01:07
whole Ways at elevated temperatures.
01:12
New Albion's tropical and sub-tropical Ways
01:15
are dedicated almost entirely for
conservation and farming.
01:21
In them you will find, among other crops,
taro and rice in paddies, rubber,
01:27
sugar cane, cotton, fruit such as dragon
fruit and mango, nuts, tea, and coffee.
01:34
Animal life in these regions is also from
tropical and sub-tropical regions of
01:39
Earth, but limited mostly to insects, and
smaller birds and amphibians.
01:46
Our hotter ways have little to no residential
units - workers must commute.
01:53
Imagine: tropical work all day,
nice cool bed at night!
