Did any of you actually watch the video? Like all the way through. Like y’all are just saying its ugly when it provides multiple services (oxygen, charging station, bench, fertilizer after then algae needs to be replaced) and it could lead to more things to actively change air quality. Like how is converting carbon dioxide to oxygen a bad thing? What the fuck
Okay, but, how much carbon did you produce to install this thing?
How much carbon does it take out of the air every month and how much carbon does the upkeep and repair of these things produce?
Yes, algae is pretty cool and has a lot of uses, but unless these things are actually carbon-negative they are worthless on a big scale.
I understand this is kind of like an art installation with a purpose. I think it’s cool as a one-off thing, but if you are making an actual argument why these are actually good you are gonna have to show me some real numbers. Also, maybe don’t make them look so…dystopian.
Seeing all these comments makes me think that this might be better implemented as a “green roof” or something hidden like that. If the Public is just going to say “it’s not a tree, it’s cringe” then it might be worth hiding them to get all the benefits (Which outweigh trees, watch the video you fucks).

This drones on for 8 minutes? Got any bullet points?
I don’t give a fuck what it does, it’s ugly
I’m just tired of videos where the robot narration is talking about how ideas such as this one can save the planet.
green slime benches can not save the planet. it should be put in it’s place for what it is. A fancy bench with lights and is carbon-negative.
Doesn’t the decomposition of a liquid trees create more carbon than oxygen produced?
Rebecca Watson being reasonable and informative in a high-bullshit environment. as usual.

Is social conditioning so easy that you can just say “no, it actually is cool it you think about it”?
If so, I’ll take one of those high paying digital marketing jobs now please.
What about a regular tree
i guest cost doesn’t even enter into the conversation?
Everyone iv asked and myself have never heard of this ever.
Let’s spend thousands of dollars and tons of energy to make these things that pull carbon out of the air instead of planting street trees…

You know what’s cooler? A real tree.
In addition to all of the liquid tree’s features, it can also provide shade and a habitat for organisms looking for a home.
But it is a dystopia.
That’s reality. Dystopic situations demand dystopic solutions. This is a very cool solution, and I for one want my own algae moat.
NOT A DYSTOPIA is a very dystopian thing to put in big bold letters
It can be both.

Just another popscience idea
