Took this love and I took it down
Climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
Till the landslide brought me down…

wait this is exactly what I needed
A vertical forest is expected to be completed this year in Milan. There are two tower apartment complexes which contain a total of 400 residential units. The facade of the buildings will be covered with 730 trees, 5,000 shrubs, and 11,000 perennial plants. It is expected to have the same ecological impact as 10,000 square meters of forest.
Aside from fighting smog and producing oxygen, the foliage is expected to provide insulation to the residential units.
It’ll be really cool to see how these trees grow in order to maximize access to sun, water, and nutrients. Also, a step towards a sci-fi solar punk future – I’m in.
I sure hope the structural engineers planned for the buildings to increase in mass as the trees grow.
Well, or else for maintenance labor to keep the trees rigorously trimmed to prevent too much increase in mass. Or both? (The wikipedia article says the engineering team consulted botanists and horticulturists in planning how much weight the buildings could bear, so it seems likely that the fact that trees grow would have come up.)
This is a pretty cool idea regardless and I hope they get it right. I wonder if anyone will do anything like this in New York.
This falls in the “I really hope they do it but I’ll believe it when I see it” category for me.
It’s been up for 2 years, inaugurated in October 2014, and still going strong. It’s won multiple awards.
Here they are building it.
Bosco Gardeners hang around outside the building.
Change of Seasons…
And a view from the place itself.
It’s funny, I first made that original post on my other blog back in 2013. Amongst the comments were several talking about how people had tried and failed at this before, how they were skeptical, and how they’d believe it if they ever saw it.. At least a couple of comments were people “explaining” why it couldn’t be done.
And now, just look!
Just because something hasn’t been done before doesn’t mean it can’t be. It just means you have a chance to be the first to do it.
Remember that. 💚
I lived for a while in Miami when I was little and like the #1 thing that triggers Miami flashbacks is Gloria Estefan and like I hear Conga or something and it’s just holy shit pastel neon signs and palm trees and shitty 90s tourist shirts and sand and blue skies and salt worn wooden benches and glassy buildings reflecting the sun and the warm breeze like I was about 2-3 but I just remember everything so vividly thanks Gloria

So this is the bitch ass anon who can't get up the courage to tell my best friend I'm fucking in love with her.... I tried to leave to go home today, but was turned around by a really severe winter storm that I just couldn't drive through. When we said goodbye we were both like tearing up and she was def crying as I was driving away and I started fucking bawling. I couldn't see through the snow and my crybaby tears. But now I'm back with her waiting out the storm and my heart is full.
Tell!! Her!!! Ugh this is so cute

As someone who lives in New Mexico and frequently visits Arizona, you don't want to come down here. We had 7 days of snow during winter, it's so so dry here all the time, it regularly reaches over 100 degrees during summer, the cactus, the cactus, THE CACTUS, grass doesnt grow green here. It's dusty always, dust storms are a real problem in some areas of Arizona and east NM, the Rio Grande is polluted as hell and has been declining in water level steadily. I recommend Nevada if you like desert
that all sounds awesome tho literally anything but MI tbh
So last night I dreamed that it was winter and I was at a shopping mall and I looked outside and saw this guy walking his borzoi, who was wearing this giant snow suit. But then the guy heard me laughing through the window and got REALLY mad at me.
Anyway, the dog looked like this.
proof that the sun is fake
if the sun is real then y is it winter and the snow cold my house and i am crying????? nice try atheists
Was that english
allow me to rephrase: if the sun s why ?? ? cold
Translation: I speak bullshit
im not bilingual im straight so stop??
Proof there’s too much stupid in the world. Science and physics are a thing along with coherent English please learn all of them so no one has to go through this again.
shut the hell out my face
I’m so confused. How can someone be so ignorant?
dont bring my iguana into this she is trying her best
