That makes sense that grass is a good option in some climates (especially with the diversity people have pointed out is in the 2nd picture). I guess I’m wondering what would be a good option for arid parts of North America, or other places where grass would be a poor choice?
Maybe I’m seeing a problem where there wasn’t one! I hadn’t noticed the diversity in the second picture. Most of the tram tracks around me have gravel or concrete between them, I’m just dreaming about what could replace that.
sounds like the sort of compost we need to nourish a better society
That’s a helpful nuance! At first I just saw them both as grass = lame
Ooh that sounds nice!
It looks like Puente Arizona and the Phoenix Legal Action Network have one, but it might just be in the Phoenix area. 480-506-7437, more info here.
We’ve got a hotline in Colorado! (844) 864-8341 They verify reports and share info with the community, and dispatch volunteer legal observers and immigration attorneys. Not sure if orgs in any other states have stood up something similar.
The US effectively does both: the lotteries are run by the states and total prizes are much less than total ticket sales, generating net revenue for the state. Winnings are taxed like other income, meaning there are federal taxes and in many states state taxes.
What about some tree- or bush-like structures that have lots of small lights, one under each leaf? Having many lights that could all be positioned and angled differently would let you direct the light to only where it’s needed and create a smooth shaddow-free glow. And be pretty too! Like the Cave of Two Lovers @Gorgritch_umie_killa@aussie.zone posted. Individual lights could have different color and brightness too.
Depending on the kind of bio-engineering or fantastical biology in your world these could be completely organic, completely manufactured, or some combination like lights attached to trees/vines grown for the purpose.
I saw a post recently about a proof-of-concept solar railway in Switzerland
