Save the planet?

Create an agriculture building. Use clear glass as natural sunlight, Building surrounded by Solar panels to power sprinklers or the aqueduct, 5-7 floors with different kinds of plants that require sunlight, and soil that is reusable and natural. Is this a plausible idea? Can we avoid agricultural plants going extinct? Can we naturally create an environment for plants without adding chemicals and preservatives to it?

Nov 30 2011: I think it's future. Maybe alternative energy. At this moment appropriate to build mini experimence towns in South countries. I know, eco towns are, but there don't use only sun-energy.
