    Soil farming.

    I sh!t you not, we need this. Topsoil in many parts of the world is leached of nutrients, or packed with chemical by-products of insecticide, herbicide, and fertilizers, or the topsoil has eroded away. Or, it’s buried under concrete, asphalt, glass, and steel.

    Soil farming for vertical farms, indoor cultivation at home, and replacing some other food growth options just makes good sense.

    3D-Printed Houses

    Hear me out. Right now, they’re small and ugly as f*ck; but that’s a design issue. Getting the materials and designs right can encourage mass adoption of sustainable design, waste sequestration, and abundant housing.

        You know those pictures you see of beautiful wooden chalets in the swiss Alps etc?

        Yeah they’re not wooden, they’re basically made by pouring liquid concrete in to a massive “mould” for the floor and walls, then covered with wood to make it pretty

        The idea of 3d printed ones is the same, but without the hassle of making the mould
