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.

Love this! Thanks for sharing!

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.

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

I’ve never seen this blog before! What a great resource! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the guide! Have you ever had problems with mosquitos while using this method? Edit: Just reread this and realized I missed the part about covering helping to prevent mosquitos. Thanks again for the guide.
