Building anything underground is extremely expensive and energy intensive, as you have to constantly pump ground water and pour concrete to keep walls from breaking under pressure of tons of soil.
So yeah, underground could work, but better used sparingly when benefit outweighs the costs, like maybe in areas that could go literally uninhabitable on the surface. Otherwise not worth it.
Urban planning wise: I think ivy walls, or other greenery covering residential buildings.
For reference, you might want to look up Bosco Verticale in Italy, or lush green roofs in Norway.
I know this isn’t a catch-all solution, but it could help mitigate climate crisis impact in addition to other options people offered here.
This is masks off moment for old.reddit. They have already done device fingerprinting, usage analytics, IP address retention, and cookies before, so not asking for email was rather symbolic, token privacy feature anyway. Removing it only confirms what’s already been there for years.
Use redlib, it’s nice. You can disable JavaScript and use it through Tor for complete security and anonymity, subscribe to subreddits, and it also has a lot of themes to customize your experience with.
And you can export your settings and subscriptions to import on another redlib instance anytime, so you are never locked in using only one instance forever.
Hi everyone, I joined 4 weeks ago, but missed the July community discussion.
I was picking a Lemmy instance, and for me, what sealed the deal to go for SLRPNK was finding out f-hub servers run on used hardware and are 70% green energy to lower carbon footprint. I appreciate the effort and transparency
So far I love SLRPNK. I don’t know anyone IRL who is eco-conscious, so seeing people also discuss ways to reduce food waste, or not using AC on principle is reassuring.
Quick question though, where may I share a photo of a microhabitat for birds in my yard? Previous owner left it, it’s awesome
