Comment on Liquid Trees

Welp, all the trees are gone but at least there are these cloudy stinking tanks of goo everywhere. Does anything not dystopian happen anymore? Like these things are a set piece from Blade Runner FFS.

It’s a pretty bad example in this case because the picture is literally on a street with trees. What these are probably for is putting in places where no one’s going to look at them but places where you can’t put trees, like industrial estates and the rooftops of buildings. Aesthetics aren’t important if no one is ever going to look at them aesthetically, and anyway they kind of look cool.

I’m sure they’re probably a good idea, I’m just crabby.

The issue is that the roof is smaller than the bench, so it doesn’t even provide shade.

Like I said though that isn’t what they’re for. They’re not going to replace trees they’re just going to augment their CO2 absorption.
