The one thing it seems to be lacking, unless I’m missing it, is a “cost” variable. Since what we’d like to see and what we can afford to build are often very different, it would be nice to have a cost variable to play with!
Exactly - also, cars are a symptom of a lack of urban planning but with remote work on the rise, car emissions will fall. I am hopeful that more communities will rise as a result as people live and work in the same place and get personal time back to invest in their surroundings
So even if we lump in commercial transportation with personal vehicles, it's still only 14% of ghg emissions or roughly half that of electricity generation.
I love the texture and purpose that visible mending gives things. It reminds me of kintsugi-- repairing ceramics with gold. It makes the object feel so much more special and loved. Like that thing has a history and a complex life story.
Different note: does anyone know if there is a visible mending community already on lemmy?
Not very punk, but a step in the right direction I think. The garden it’s good enough to get some strawberries as a snack or complete your salad with a fresh tomato from time to time. Of course it would make much more sense to have all the surrounding park planted with vegetables… but it’s something.
