About this episode
The episode discusses the importance of trees in urban environments and proposes designing cities around them for better health and climate benefits.
I read The Hidden Life of Trees by Peter Wohlleben and it totally changed my perspective on these incredible plants that surround us! Trees communicate with each other, live in families and can be thousands of years old. We've been living in harmony with them for millions of years and it's not only until recently that we understood how complex they are. My Moonshot proposal is that we need to design cities around trees. They provide incredible passive cooling, and numerous health benefits like clean air, happier people, more energy efficient cities and so much more! Not to mention our cities of the future would look insanely cool! Imagine Austin, Texas with more trees! It's already too hot there, this is the perfect solution!Hidden Life of Trees book on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/177... My X: / gfilche HyperChange Patreon :) / hyperchange
