But then I remember this image from the art book

Take a moment and ask yourself, a project like this requires a lot of time, money and dedication of resources, why would scientists dedicate that time to something that could just be done by a tree?

The answer is they wouldn't. So that means this claim requires further investigation!

This project is called LIQUID 3, and it's not meant for cities with wide open spaces, it's meant for cities like Belgrade in Serbia. These cities are densely populated and heavily polluted, to the point where pollution actually chokes out current trees and makes creating green spaces difficult.

Liquid 3 was a PhD scientists answer to these problems. The microalgae tank is intended for spaces where you either:

Don't have enough space to plant full trees, or

Don't have enough time to plant trees and wait for them to grow up.

The tank is extremely efficient when you consider the amount of space needed compared to the amount of CO2 turned into oxygen. The tank can operate throughout the winter. And most importantly, it can be quickly set up in areas that desperately need relief from air pollution NOW not in 10 years when trees are done growing. Children currently suffocating on polluted air can't wait for trees to grow, they need to be taken care of now, and Liquid 3 is one of the ways to take care of them. Depending on the species of microalgea used, a number have shown a pretty amazing capacity to pull heavy metals out of the air which is something trees can get choked up by.

The tanks aren't just tanks either! Liquid 3 have solar panels placed on top, they have lighting and mobile phone charging, and they work as public benches. The designers of it want to encourage green spaces where there's room, but where there isn't room or time, Liquid 3 can step in. Realistically, this isn't a replacement for trees. It's replacing boring metal city benches with new, cooler benches that also clean the air (and have at least some heating during the winter).

Not only that, but the microalgea that grows is native to Serbia and all that microalgea has a ton of great uses! It makes for great fertilizer, compost, wastewater treatment, cleaner biofuels and even for helping create new tanks for further air purification. They only require a quick algae divide once a month, and the produced algae can be carted off to where ever it's needed. This makes them effective solutions for areas that can't sustain complex installations.

In just the past two months, Sony has:

Said the PS6 will be more than $1000 at launch

Announced the end of all physical PS game releases

While simultaneously announcing the end of two of their console game stores — ensuring multiple games will die forever

Declared that they are wholly dedicated to (A) leveraging A.I. when making games and (B) creating live-service games above all other game types

Announced that if you bought any movies through their PlayStation Store, over 550 of them will soon be deleted from all users' libraries — with no restitution offered of any kind

Gamers, it is time — to paraphrase Robert Vann — to turn Sony's picture to the wall. Any one of these insults would be bad, and taken alone? Maybe it could be swallowed. But this is an ongoing campaign of disdain towards customers, with each declaration worse than the last.

My name is August Greenwood, I’m a trans and queer artist who makes music and writes a lot. This is an introduction to a new project that I’m hoping will be your new obsession! If you’re looking for new media to go down the rabbit hole of, please stay tuned!

‘Hematology’ is a concept album that I’m working on about a scientist with religious trauma that loses his mind after meeting a spirit that claims to be God.

I’ve been working on this concept album for a while now, and I’ve been posting it consistently on other platforms, but I realized that Tumblr would probably be intrigued by my project and I feel the need to share it here. So, hello! Welcome to Hematology!

I have a Patreon to help fund the project, it’s really cheap, with the cheapest tier being just $1 and the most expensive tier is $10, but here’s some more info!

Plot:

Three brothers grew up in a tiny little community church in the middle of nowhere South Carolina. With the two eldest siblings having left the church, the youngest remains there alone, grappling with his faith and the harmful environment he’s surrounded by. When the middle child, the estranged scientist, starts speaking with a powerful entity who claims to be God, things begin going downhill fast, and The Youngest finds himself caught in the middle. Between the missing pastor and his increasingly entranced brothers, it is up to The Eldest to protect his family while avoiding falling into the clutches of the spirit that started it all.

I will be posting more of this on my account, so feel free to follow along!
