why does it always feel like stories like this about revolutionary environmental technological innovation pop up then disappear? i feel like this is major and we should be investing billions in this? esp as a country that literally exports our trash to other countries. https://twitter.com/designboom/status/1358731059597352963
like…what if governments worked with her to license the technology, hire people to process landfills into bricks, then use them to create jobs for making communities of tiny homes for people who need shelter haha no j/k we should just spend millions on anti homeless architecture
the tech literally exists im so tired of our government pretending to care about climate change and environmental waste. like why isnt boyan slat’s plastic collector in every american water way? thailand is using them now.
the last thing I’ll say is even if all the tech isn’t 100% perfect it could be if our government spent a fraction of the money they put towards genocide into eco-tech.
