The engineers from each settlement have joined forces to create and implement sustainable ways of transport, communication and energy production for the island. These ideas have been chosen for their sustainability, environmentally friendlyness and effectiveness.

The transport for the island is going to be world class and one of a kind. The engineers have decided to steer clear of the modern ways of transport like cars and to focus on the sky above. A chair lift system will be implemented above the trees which will not only transport people but it will transport supplies across the island. This chair lift will run off energy that will be created by solar panels that will sit above each cart. Some areas of the island will not require any enegry for the chair lift to run as it will be heading down hill. One settlement will be the host for the main station for the chair lift and every other settelment will have a station but on a smaller scale. This system will cause no great damage to the environment as it is above the tree tops and requires to removal of plants, trees or other forms of vegation. [|Chair lift picture]

As commuincation on the island and to the rest of the world is important a satellite dish will be implemented for the use of phones and internet. Due to the satellite the phones and internet will be wireless and therefore will not harm the natural environment.
 * __ Communication: __**

The islands energy supply will be generated from alternative forms of energy. The main forms that will be implemented on the island are wind and solar. The wind turbines will be place in the west of the top of the mountains for a greater energy production. The island is going to host a power station which will allow for energy to be stored and disturbuted throughout the island. It has been decided that all settlements will share energy and therefore only one power station will be required. The host settlement for this power station is in the middle of the island as there is open space and doesnt require any destruction of the natural envrionment. [|Solar and Wind picture]
