      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.

      The venus project is beyond reaching for perfection...all these people who do not realize we live in one of the best times ever in recorded history. 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.

      Your guess is as good as mine. Money is the biggest barrier to productivity, human evolution, and better world for all life on Earth. In my view, the economic system is the single most idiotic system ever created. The monetary system is designed for the rich and powerful to stay rich and powerful. So, I say lets do good for the world regardless of how much it cost.

      @@cantu7614 I completely disagree with you, the Monetary system does not favors people who are smart and hard working, that's a load of B.S.! I think that your view on the world's economic system is very simplistic, false, and unrealistic. In the USA and the globe, the monetary system favors the most wicked, greedy, and immoral peace of scum on the Earth. If your rich in America it's because your ancestors probably were colonial slave-owning warmongers. Everything America has is because it stole it from other ppl. Lets be real, the people who control the monetary system only want to maintain their wealth and status as the most powerful ppl on the planet, it clearly have nothing to do with intelligence and hard work. Yeah, they are working hard and intelligently to keep the planet subjugated under the elite's rule. From my view, the global economic system is ruled by tyrannical warlords who would go to any limits to maintain the status quo, keep the rich rich and the poor poor.

      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.

    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.
