Max discusses the importance of open source in bringing about effective climate action, the role of Carbon Plan in building accessible data products and tools, and how being a nonprofit is advantageous for open source development. The conversation also touches on funding models for open source projects in nonprofits, including support from individual donors, grants, and collaboration with governmental and private entities like NASA.

The University of Belgrade’s Institute for Multidisciplinary Research invented an urban photo-bioreactor. Liquid 3 cleans the air and serves as a bench in the Belgrade city centre.

It's a tank filled with microalgae, a solar panel on the top generates electricity for USB charging ports for citizens and a pump that pumps air into the tank where the algae process the CO² and produce Oxygen.

One of my favorite channels for DYI inspiration. Most videos are about salvaging damaged things from junkyards and repairing them or using them to build something new.

Quite new it seems.

We like to create "Open Source Gardens" and thus introduce people to Open Source (philosophy/software/seeds) in a horticultural and creative way. In our gardens and in community gardens we plant so-called "Open Source Seeds" - seeds that are available to all people as public good (commons). We want to learn with and from each other and exchange ideas about gardening and open source. Through our exchanges we like to get to know each other further and grow together into a strong community. In the garden and online.

saw someone post about this elsewhere, seems pretty cool

H.O.R.I.Z.O.N. is an intentional digital space that aims to assemble a playbook for an online and offline world more attuned to the intelligence of ecology, queerness, and sovereign living.

H.O.R.I.Z.O.N. was conceived by the Institute of Queer Ecology (IQECO). Operating as a decentralized collective of creative practitioners, IQECO produces artwork, programming, and exhibitions that draw on queer, feminist, and decolonial theory in order to “make space for imagining an equitable, multispecies future.”
