Nothing is wrong with trees, but the microalgae CO2 capture rate is 50x higher````` .

Because there's no serious answers being given even though there are at least 2:

• trees have roots, roots ruin any nearby human infrastructure. You'll note this says "in urban environments" and that there are trees nearby, so this is probably the big reason
• trees need maintenance, which costs money. this is a stupid reason imo, but it's one nonetheless
• algae is cool, ok?

How do I self host these? I tried docker run liquidtrees it didn't work

Trees grow and rip up the pavement around them. I do love the canopy though

@ECEC Good lord the number of replies here from people whose brains have been destroyed by "planners"...

1. Trees lower the urban heat island effect.
2. There's plenty of room for trees in dense places, so long as "density" means efficient housing and efficient transportation rather than parking lots and stroads and single-family homes.
3. Someone said "trees require maintenance", as if asphalt & pretty much everything doesn't require maintenance?
4. Trees harm cars. But cars harm cars too!

Very cyberpunk

Is it FOSS?

The most dystopian thing I've seen... Fuck, idk, it's all pretty dystopian these days, I've lost count

Good post.

Wrong community.

Yeah, those are going to last at -40F/-40C nights we often experience where I live. Nor do I see them being able to add any cool relief from their shade on a hot day.

That said, it is hard to grow healthy trees in the poisoned soils of a big city. They tend to struggle and be sickly when choked by concrete and asphalt.

Have you ever seen how long it takes for a tree to grow?

A big problem with trees is roots, especially in cities with dense underground infrastructure. If there’s an actual way to produce the same amount of oxygen as a tree in a smaller space, I’m all for it. I’m honestly okay with how these look, assuming low maintenance.
