[@nogwartmushplat1015]

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.

R. Buckminster Fuller patented the Geodesic dome in 1954. I remember attending one of his symposiums in the 1970’s when I was a teenager and was absolutely mesmerized, most especially by his assured, passionate and yet calming manner of speech. Mother Earth News, my favorite magazine back then (still is) also published an article one month featuring a marvelous Goedesic greenhouse which my then boyfriend and I built a miniature version of for our veggies.

The Eden Project is the best rainforest biome that I've seen in the world! It's not to be missed if you visit Cornwall or even Devon.

[@soltea7926]

Went here when I was young on a school trip felt like a holiday it's crazy

[@IIVVBlues]

I really must visit Cornwall before I die. How is it that I've never heard of this before? It is absolutely inspiring!

[@There_is_a_duck_in_my_home]

Not going to lie they should put these things on top of sky scrapers

[@mattypants]

I'd travel to Cornwall just to visit this place. Absolutely amazing. Our zoo has a gigantic indoor rainforest under a geodesic dome, it's incredible. Especially here where it's very cold and snowy from November to March. You walk inside and it's the tropics.

[@melstark3466]

I wish I could live in one. I think it would be an amazing life to be that close to nature and to understand how to manage your waste, where your food comes from, etc.

The one in Seattle build by Bezos is locally called Bezo's Balls.

[@senoracheapee1864]

that is funny

[@GloriaFlores-to3cj]

I don’t know why, but I think Jeff Bezos would get a big kick out of that. ☺️😁

[@nancejo]

@@GloriaFlores-to3cj Bezos Balls and kick. Interesting concept.

We are visiting here on New Year’s Eve.

[@benji1162]

Canny Explorer nice!

[@laverne1121]

then would you please tell us your experience after going there?

[@louis5519]

Lav Medina i live about 30 mins away from the Eden Project and been multiple times. Each time i go there’s something different to see, and everything that i saw the previous time had changed or grown so it was like going for the first time again. It’s very educational and makes for a really nice day out if visiting the South West of England (or England if you’re from elsewhere!)

[@laverne1121]

@@louis5519 thanks for sharing your wonderful experience there.

[@arthousefilms]

Tell us how it is in real life.

[@rahulkrbhadani]

Come to Biosphere 2, The University of Arizona in Tucson if you want to see the same.

[@lblake5653]

I am so down for that. Bucket list stuff.

@David David Jesus christ. What a comment. People fly every day and always will, whether you fly or not will change nothing. And the Chinese open new power stations every year.

The use of the monitor with a liquid suspension of seeds and soil to spray it, allowing the roots to hold into the clay was absolutely genius

[@lokiwun]

You are a terrific narrator Jo. Thank you

[@Crystal-mh8ut]

I’ve been there a few times and I have to say it is literally like being in another world 🗺 it’s super hot and there’s so many interesting plants 🌱 it’s also super educational 😊

[@DenneGene]

If i had money I'll build myself a big dome like that, turn it into a forest and build my house inside that dome

[@perryschnabel]

Just buy a piece of forest and build your home there :D

[@suphumans2416]

That's it. I've decided that I'll be living in a greenhouse in 8 years.

[@sihaandhaha8460]

The eden project is awesome. Went as a kid about 16 years ago.

[@MattSipka]

This is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen!! We live in the future guys!!!

[@The_Garden_of_Fragile_Egos]

Might as well horde some seeds from Brazil before they burn it all down.

[@keithrjoseph9528]

There's an ongoing project at Kew Royal Botanical Gardens to catalogue and preserve the rainforest plants. Kew was founded in 1759 and has the world's largest collection of plants.

[@Peppersfirst]

Or buy a bunch of it and start building massive domes over it. It would be a pretty awesome home for tribes that are trying to survive in there. Make the world's governments pay for it

[@The_Garden_of_Fragile_Egos]

@Dieter Gaudlitz No they wont, and we're losing some that we've never even had the chance to discover.

[@pahwraith]

@@Peppersfirst it won't help when ranchers hire thugs with aks to burn it down, kill the people and then ranchers claim the land and the government and courts of Brazil do nothing. That's the real problem. The complete lack of rule of law.

[@Peppersfirst]

@@pahwraith Yeah you're right. It's truly a sad situation. It would take militias to start setting up and protecting the land and it's people. Sounds like an awesome life purpose actually. Much better than wasting it as a mindless slave trained to serve and consume. Well I'm convinced. I'm grabbing my SKS. 🌳🌴🌳👀🌳🌴🌳
