Standing water in concrete structures is a huge no no.

Isn't this one of the big reasons why the Florida apartment complex collapsed?

What engineering controls does one need to create a durable structure while exposed to constant moisture needed for vegetation, and the vegetation itself?

I started thinking about this yesterday too, after watching the Ask This Old House guys remove moss from a roof, explaining that it will retain water and shorten the life of the shingles. As some houses are prone to moss, you'd think we'd just figure out how to make a bio-roof. That seems like your step one to a veg-roof.

For anyone familiar with the car camping vs ultralight camping crowds: this sounds all too familiar...

Just providing context. Not "blaming it on the town."

The meal plan idea is genius!

Mine is that everything in my house needs a place. If I can't find a designated space for something, it must not be important enough to keep around. Makes cleanup easier too.

honey bees should be raised in land they are native to.

I just wish we could stop with the misinformation surrounding them. I wish we would protect native bees instead of worshipping invasives (in the US).

I only have two humans and a dog in my household but we typically only generate one kitchen bag of trash a week by diverting a lot of our cardboard and food scraps into a small compost pile.

I think my home instance should count!

It stays on my phone for the sole reason that I have notifications turned on from a local weather account

The comments are suggesting everyone do charge backs.

Agreed. Hopefully it's just a temporary reaction because of all the skepticism floating about.

I can say what's helped me tremendously is finding a niche instance that aligns with your interests instead of the huge generic ones
