This is so cool! I love it when things are functional and beautiful. I hope this can be used in the future to keep our communities cool and vibrant.
This is a good point. I hadn't thought about it like that before. It would be great to see some more calorie-dense crops represented in these kinds of projects.
Good explanation, thanks! I'm definitely weary of the possibility that this sort of information could be twisted and misrepresented by climate change deniers in an "It's not climate change, it's just El Niño!" sort of way. I wonder if there's any way to prevent that.

I've been learning about the cultivation of algae and cyanobacteria, and I found this guide to be an interesting read. What do you guys think about algae as a potential sustainable food source?

The fight against light pollution seems relevant to this community. The International Dark Sky Association has a lot of good information for people who are just starting to learn about this issue. Light pollution has many impacts on wildlife and the environment, but it also keeps us from being able to see the stars. I think everyone should get the chance to experience a night sky that isn't obscured by light pollution.
This! I don't know how I would feel about the texture experience of eating whole insects, but using them in stuff as a powder seems very doable.
This is a cool concept. There are definitely possible issues that need to be hammered out, but I like seeing diverse ideas for energy production! Thanks for sharing!
I love this! There's a mall in my area that's on its last legs, and it has this huge sprawling parking lot that's never used. Also, unlike most malls, this one is connected to other parts of the community via a trail system. The unused space has so much potential to turn into a sprawling community hub, it just needs the chance to do so.
I wonder what the best methods of reclaiming this kind of space actually are. The video mentioned getting people to fundraise/buy the property together, but I wonder how many people you would need to raise that kind of money. I also wonder if any zoning laws might threaten these types of communities.
Helpful article! I wasn't aware of this issue. Thank you!
To add to the points made in the article, another important method of providing pollinators with habitat is to leave fall leaves down (if applicable to your area). https://www.xerces.org/blog/leave-the-leave
Tactical Urbanism is an approach to neighborhood building that uses short-term, low-cost, and scalable interventions and policies to catalyze long term change.
