Hack The Earth

From Wired, The Year's 10 Craziest Ways to Hack the Earth.

While they are interesting, I'm not a fan of anything that has us trying to maintain our destructive way of life. Instead of coming up with all these crazy ideas, why don't we just make some relatively minor adjustments to our personal existences? These are all just cop outs and misdirection of responsibility...and I guess that point is actually made throughout - thank the gods.


That said, one of them, Vertical Farming (in the No. 10 spot), seems pretty responsible, effective, logical, and pretty to look at (see pic to right). Plus, the idea that traditional farm fields could be then returned to forest? Slam dunk.
