      To be fair having bubbles with foreign species in it is like creating a bubble with a bunch of foreign bacteria ready to destroy the local wildlife. Unless it’s weaker species. In which case you’re getting a bubble that’ll pop and leave nothing

      ive been thinking this and im going to make food forests as a work exchange available for all
      so kids arent making gangs or stealing
      its working for the future
      you can work at any time of day
      with credits being kept on your file
      and you can get paid in cash or food and water
      or even pay for the fresh fruit to be harvested if you dont want to pick at the moment
      but this creates a platform that people can resist homelessness and rise out of welfare
      and it creates a standard of nutrition that then supermarkets and restaurants have to meet or match
      this video had me like
      "This is all the stuff im preparing to do"

      Most older major cities have one, sometimes several, botanical gardens, that do this in slightly more conventional architecture. I grew up in Helsinki, Finland, and the "Winter Garden" greenhouse is a beautiful Victorian glass house that models various biomes on a far smaller scale, but still gives you that inner peace.

We treat each other and animals better then ever, but lets all keep reaching for this perfection of utopia while bashing and attempting the dismantle the systems that actually are contributing to our ability to help the earth and also be kinder to it. But yea, lets destroy and rebuild??? Cause destruction is not costly in regards to life?? Just imagine if while reaching for utopia we destabilize our systems in place, you all realize billions would die right? Oh wait animals are more important...cause feelings and nature. The universe is indifferent to what animals come and go on this planet, you all are just bored and your narcissism makes you believe you know a more righteous path. You don't, get over yourselves.

      Ecosystems are very much size-dependent. Every square metre of space counts. The more space there is, the more species can survive in it, the more species living in it, the more resilient it is to fluctuations in conditions. Basically, size and stability are related via species richness. So human habitation in these types of designs is far more practical if it's underground, and therefore not taking up habitat space. With vertical farms and primary water reclamation systems down there as well. It's best if animal populations are heavily skewed towards species with flight capabilities also, due to volume > surface area.
      I agree that this is absolutely something we should at least give a try, to see if we can't make it work on a more widespread scale. There are a lot of old open cut mine sites in the world. Just sitting there being big useless holes in the ground.

    @TellyWatcher1997 4 года назад +3

    The Eden Project has had a huge positive impact on the Cornish economy and it is a terrific enterprise. I would prefer to see us reintroducing our native forests here in Britain, especially in the upland areas which were given over to sheep farming. Everything was nibbled to the bare earth by sheep. Cornwall used to be heavily forested (like the rest of Britain) and these forests controlled rain run off, preventing flooding further down in the lowlands and coastal areas. With rising sea levels I think that it is imperative we concentrate on returning much of our land to its (almost) pristine state rather than marvelling at the wonder of huge greenhouses with tearooms attached. In saying that there's always a role for education and if it's easier to have a train ride and a "staycation" to go to see the Mediterranean in Britain rather than getting on an aeroplane then I am all for it.

      Trees like apple trees cannot handle it anymore, so I told already some landowners to grow Nashi trees instead, also some have already banana plants in their gardens without cutting them for wintertime. Basically we have a real funny climate here , maybe because of a coal-fired power station which also help holding up this kind of climate in my home town. All my plans already staying like 5 years straight in my garden without taking them inside in the wintertime , and they are all kind of tropical, Mediterranean plants
