Singapore imports nearly all of its food, but it already has an incredible foundation for urban agriculture: 🏙️ Buildings capable of supporting greenery equal to 200% of their footprint

A food forest… on the 51st floor of a skyscraper. In the middle of Singapore, this rooftop farm grows fruit trees, shrubs, herbs, vines, edible flowers, and even attracts pollinating bees. Instead of planting a single layer of vegetables, this garden produces food vertically. It’s proof that even the most unlikely urban spaces can become productive ecosystems. What unused space in your city could be growing food

One Tucson neighborhood is proving that streets can do more than move cars. They can harvest rain.
Grow native food trees.
Cool the city.
Recharge the soil.
Create habitat.
And bring life back into public land. Now imagine this happening in every neighborhood. #EarthRepair #RainwaterHarvesting #Permaculture #WaterHarvesting #RegenerativeDesign

This water-harvesting basin was nearly 30°F cooler than the exposed asphalt beside it. In Tucson, streets, pavement, and buildings absorb heat all day, creating hotter and hotter urban environments. But when stormwater is redirected into planted basins, the street starts to change. Water soaks into the soil.
Native trees grow.
Shade returns.
The ground cools down.
And the neighborhood becomes more livable. This project is showing a real, practical solution to the urban heat island effect. One cu

This is free food growing on public land. In Tucson Arizona, stormwater that used to disappear down the street is now being redirected into planted basins, growing native food trees, edible flowers, mesquite pods, wolfberries, cactus fruit, and habitat for wildlife. It’s not just beautifying the neighborhood. It’s cooling the streets, rebuilding the soil, supporting native species, and creating real food security right outside people’s doors. This is what happens when a city stops wasting rainwa

Instead of sending stormwater down the drain, the curb was cut so the water could flow into planted basins, soak into the soil, and grow shade, food, and habitat. It’s a simple idea with a massive impact: Stop draining the rain. Start planting it. #EarthRepair #RainwaterHarvesting #Permaculture #WaterHarvesting #RegenerativeDesign

This is what happens when a neighborhood stops treating rainwater like waste. Instead of sending it down the drain, they cut curbs, built basins, planted native food trees, cooled the streets, and turned public land into a living food forest. What started illegally is now helping reshape city policy. Watch the full video on my YouTube channel. #EarthRepair #RainwaterHarvesting #Permaculture #FoodForest #RegenerativeDesign

▶DONATE TO THIS PROJECT: https://www.nationofhawaii.org/am-ahupuaa/ Last July, we launched a crowdfunding campaign with the Nation of Hawaii to restore their traditional watershed food system. The Ahupuaʻa. This land has already been transformed. New loʻi are built and planted. Water is flowing again. Food production has doubled. Invasive trees are being cleared, and native plants are returning. With nearly $50,000 raised so far, this work is already making a real impact. This is what it looks

Only about one quarter of homes are actually positioned to properly collect the sun’s heat and light. Which means most houses are working against nature… not with it. The orientation of a building determines: - how much heat you get in winter - how much overheating you get in summer - how much you spend on energy over time And the wild part? This isn’t complicated technology… it’s just understanding how the sun moves. #PermacultureDesign #PassiveSolar #SustainableLiving #EnergyEfficiency #HomeDe

Most people never think about this… but the direction your house faces can completely change how much you spend on heating and cooling. And the crazy part? It costs nothing to get it right… This is just one small piece of a much bigger system. #PermacultureDesign #Pas#PassiveSolars#SustainableLivinge#EnergyEfficiencymeDesign

Two years ago, this land in Chad was nothing but scorched earth. Today, it’s producing fodder, supporting families, feeding livestock, and bringing peace between farmers and nomadic herders. Half moons, pioneer acacia trees, and community-driven restoration transformed 300 acres into a thriving ecosystem, faster than anyone thought possible. This is what regreening the Sahel looks like.

The Half Moon Miracle in the Sahel Witness the incredible resurrection of barren lands as we delve into the half moon technology revitalizing the Sahel! With 7,500 half moons spanning this site, each a symbol of hope and restoration, we're bringing life back to the soil and nourishing communities for a thriving future.
