  The roots are something I had not considered

  Bet that algae box will need maintenance too :-)

    Every 6 months half of it gets removed, to use as fertiliser, and it is refilled with tap water and some feed.

  “let’s uproot all these trees and invade this space. and when the roots of the few remaining trees do what they are supposed to do, let’s blame them for ‘ruining’ human infrastructure!”

  On the other hand, algae do not produce shade, not sure if it filters atmospheric pollutants, and trees provide all sort of other services to the local ecosystem.

  Maybe this invention can be used on places where trees cannot lives, but I’d still take a city with trees over a city full of green tanks.

    These in the spots where trees once stood but were too destructive & trees everywhere else imo. Cool tech future AND trees, plus these are benches too it looks like

      This part is the most surprising. For something meant to go in urban areas, where’s the hostile architecture? No railings between seats? No spikes?

        That sounds like it needs its own community.

  trees dont ruin ANY human infrastructure. But the usual urban infrastructure isnt well thought out enough exist around trees. But smarter urbanism is possible and in fact does exist.

    I think you mean all, as this reads more like “nuh uh, trees don’t ruin anything”

    But smarter urbanism is possible and in fact does exist.

    And those are not the norm, so for places that don’t plan to just destroy what’s already there and start anew, this is an option

      ohh, thats why i got all these downvotes. youre right, i was trying to deny the original claim that trees would ruin any infrastructure we build around them. so, yes, was just saying that some infrastructure can be made compatible with trees, while most implemented infra is not.

  Don’t forget pollen and seeds.

    Bees need pollen. We need bees and you can self host them.

      Plus pollen means having to pay to clean it off.

  Algae is also more efficient per cubic meter, if I understand correctly.

  source

  • halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Not just more efficient, vastly more efficient. Algae is 10-50 times faster at processing CO² than trees are. Some algae can be up to 400x as efficient.

    It’s just not as “nice” to look at, we usually associate algae with growth in unsafe bodies of water like bogs, etc. versus a nice clean pool or even a maintained pond.
