those old trees of wood that give you shadow in hot days are pretty outdated, it’s time for trees 2.0!! without all that shadow and all that pesky wood!

    You know, this thing would have been cool as an Indoors wall thingy in malls and such, since algae doesn’t need as much maintenance as houseplants and would produce more oxygen too. Placing the tank outside is a strange decision, it simply doesn’t match with the streets stylistically or functionally and will require regular repairs and cleaning from damages of the elements and filth that would accumulate at extreme speeds.

        And pretend that we can continue burning fossil fuels because the problem has been ‘fixed’.

      The smell of fish tanks green with algae in an enclosed space isn’t really going to bring in foot traffic for malls.

          I’m very reluctant to share this information, lest the capitalists read this and make a fortune from it but the tank could have a carbon filter at the top, to stop the smell. The kind they put in ‘pet’ vacuum cleaners and professional kitchen fans.

          Edit, typo

        Ehhh like another user said genetically they could probably fix that and I don’t know that the smell would infiltrate the indoor spaces that much if it’s enclosed (it looks like they are in the picture)

          In order for it to be enclosed it would need pumps to circulate the CO2 and oxygen like a photobioreactor.

          If the oxygen isn’t being distributed inside the mall why have take up retail real estate?

      Literally, imagine walking through a mall and instead of thousands of glowing energy-sucking digital ads you see life actively sucking CO2 from the planet
