Trees grow and rip up the pavement around them. I do love the canopy though
So, uh, what’s wrong with that?
It makes it difficult to use the pavement, especially for elderly people and people with disabilities, costs the council a bunch of time and money to repair, and doing the repairs often require killing off the tree
So, uh, what’s wrong with that?
… with damaging infrastructure? Well, presumably the infrastructure will no longer be as good at serving its original purpose once it is damaged.

I don’t think anything’s wrong with trees, but maybe we could also have some of these as well as trees ?
First of all nobody is proposing to replace existing trees with that, that would be silly!
And yes, that’s pretty much the idea: install these in densely packed cities that are already highly polluted to start truning things around. Rebecca Watson’s 6min take
Let’s go for a walk in the park - they just cleaned the algae tanks!
Have you ever seen how long it takes for a tree to grow?
Depends on the variety of course… my Willows need cutting down, whereas the acorns I planted before the willows are still tiny oaks in pots 🙂
I had the same reaction until I read this.
TL;DR: it’s 10-50x more efficient at cleaning the air and actually generates both electricity and fertiliser.
Yes, it would be better to just get rid of all the cars generating the pollution in the first place and putting in some more trees, but there are clear advantages to this.
It provides fertilizer but needs “some food”.
How much food and what is it?
Typically for aquariums you have to feed these things fertilizer so it seems odd
It’s just some circle of life stuff, fertilizer, carbon dioxide, light in, The algae produces more algae. It loads up on a bunch of carbon, some of the bloom dies off, by removing it, you take the carbon with it along with some of the fertilizer components. You add a little more fertilizer in and the algae blooms more and sucks up more carbon dioxide.
How much food and what is it?
…Did we mention it doubles as a convenient dumping ground for mob snitches?
How long does it take to break even from the pollution and electricity spent to make and install these?

I mean yeah it’s a great idea but what if someone comes out with 6 minute abs?
Step into my office.
Why?
Cuz you’re fucking fired!
-pooly paraphrased from one of my favorute scenes in Something About Mary
*bonus cuz noone asked, my favorite scene is when he asks his buddy how it’s been and his buddy says “you know each day is better than the next” without thinking it sounds like each day is great but he’s really saying is every day is worse and worse🤣
I appreciate Rebecca Watson’s opinion. Watched the 6min video, now convinced 👍
Also learned a new term: kneejerk cynicism
It sounded cool a couple of years ago, but it was first installed in 2021 and I’m yet to hear of it really going anywhere.
Isn’t spirulina more effective for capturing carbon than trees? And also you can eat it in the way you don’t normally eat trees? Trees are great and all but why do you want me to be angry about algae?
This is like 15 years out of date.
Elon musk going into the tree business I see.
white people slowly reinventing aquaculture
How much better are Kagi search results? Would you say it is worth using over something like searx?
Yeah, those are going to last at -40F/-40C nights we often experience where I live. Nor do I see them being able to add any cool relief from their shade on a hot day.
That said, it is hard to grow healthy trees in the poisoned soils of a big city. They tend to struggle and be sickly when choked by concrete and asphalt.
Oh thats why the box below it provides heating and cooling. Its powered by a gasoline generator.
Gooooood Morning Night City!
Algae in water doesn’t burn like trees
Checkmate commies !
Does this count too?
I already posted this on [email protected]. .
I’m purposefully growing duckweed on my balcony.
I’m doing [email protected], and by doing that, I have lots of waste water with still good fertilizer in it.Duckweed is one of the fastest growing, nutrient densest and least demanding plant out there, and you can just scoop it out with a strainer.
It’s exponentially growing and if you don’t wanna eat it, it makes great organic fertiliser or animal feed with lots of protein and micronutients!
