Green roofs can help to slow water runoff and reduce flooding, all while naturally cooling buildings and benefiting biodiversity. #ReasonsToBeCheerful has a good article about recent successes with green roofs in the Netherlands. These are next level green roofs with in-built computer regulated water flow.

“A study of Resilio’s blue-green roofs found they could capture up to 97 percent of extreme precipitation — considerably more than a conventional green roof, which typically captures around 12 percent, and more than conventional blue-green roofs, which capture around half.”

Im encouraging everyone to follow the account of one of my fav video makers, NotJustBikes 😍🚲

@notjustbikes.

NotJustBikes makes the best videos unpacking how our cities could be soo much better if we bought some good design and moved away from cars and made our spaces walkable and people centric. See their bio for links to their videos.

Extra special is that here on Mastodon is their main social media presence (outside video posts), and they do not want cross posting of their posts onto the capitalist platforms. Absolute legend.

So since we are on Mastodon you can very much follow them at the account above.

New to Mastodon? Consider following any of these hashtags if you’re interest to follow these topics further.

Solarpunk Presents Podcast

DATE CHANGE for solarpunk hangout! Instead of Thursday May 29, it will be Friday May 30 at 8pm EST / 5pm PST / 2am in Berlin (sorry Christina...) My apologies for the eleventh-hour switch; I hope this doesn't put anyone out.

Solarpunk topic this time is public transit - what's it like where you are? what do you wish it was like? do you have any fave places for public transit and what makes them so great? what would it take to make it great in your neck of the woods, do you think?

Again, no pressure to answer any of the above q's; they're there for topics of convo if you'd like to use them or not.

I'll be posting a link a bit before the hangout on our Patreon, which you can join for as little as $1USD per month at patreon.com/solarpunkpresents. The hangout is available to all supporters 😀 Hope to see some of you there!

Brand new infrastructure in Fairview, Dublin. Zebra crossing over cycle path. Onto that knobbly surface for blind users, to show them pedestrian crossings. This surface guides them past the footbridge and into a crossing that doesn't exist over a 5 lane road. The non crossing also has a barrier, directly in front of them. It's a disgrace
