  1. An alternative to the conventional aboveground #greenhouse with fully transparent walls is the modern #Walipini, developed in #Bolivia 2002. The #concept enables #yearround vegetable #cultivation even in temperate climate zones, as the planting beds are situated #underground, where the temperature remains nearly constant regardless of the season above. Sunlight enters through a transparent roof.

  2. Low-carbon fuels, including biomass-derived biofuels and synthetic power-to-X fuels, are sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels that generate significantly fewer #greenhouse gas emissions. Their global economic viability is not universal but depends heavily on specific regional resources and local financing conditions.

  3. It may be feasible to fabricate tiny reflective #nanorods from iron and aluminum found in the #Martian soil and launch them into the #atmosphere. “The interaction of those particles with the incoming sunlight ☀️ would then cause that solar energy to be preferentially forward scattered to the surface. That would then cause a very strong #greenhouse effect, and we can warm it up several tens of degrees.” 🌡️ ucf.edu/news/ucf-planetary-sci

  4. Essay - How the climate conversation went punk

    From #SlowFashion to #GuerrillaGardening, the internet has transformed solarpunk, a literary movement, into an alternative lifestyle trend.

    Excerpt: "In 2020, #SolarPunkFarms cropped up in California as a #communal living space whose inhabitants grow and share their own food. The leftovers are sent to local markets. They have designed their #greenhouse after the animations of #HayaoMiyazaki. In fact, the works of the #StudioGhibli founder have found resonance among solarpunks, as he places nature as a character in his plots. In his visions, nature is at its most beautiful—lush greenery, rays of light, the dew on leaves, and the wind blowing life into trees.

    "Though these changes are encouraging, it’s ironic that as we move past dystopian visions, the #capitalists of the world, running in the #AI race, threaten to steer us to the very future. The use of AI itself depletes water resources and generates immense amounts of greenhouse gases and electronic waste. If we are to live in a world where technology exists in harmony with #nature, #activists, stakeholders, and individuals must actively call for more #SustainableSolutions, #AffirmativeAction, and policy changes.

    "If cyberpunk warned us of what happens when technology consumes humanity, solarpunk invites us to imagine what is possible when humanity reclaims technology. It reminds us that hope, like sunlight, is a renewable resource too."

  5. There's moss growing inside the roof panels of my greenhouse! (I'm guessing this isn't exactly desirable, but isn't hurting anything yet, plus it's cool)

  6. "If enacted... the #LNG portion of the #Manchin bill... would 'lock in new #greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to 165 #coal fired power plants or more' and 'erase the #climate benefits of building 50 major renewable #electricity transmission lines.' It is exactly, to the letter, what #Project2025 has called for."
