Somewhere in the rain-soaked valleys of Meghalaya, bridges are not built, they are grown ๐ŸŒฟ Each root remembers centuries of footsteps, weaving ecology, engineering and time into one quiet crossing. Drift back to the first story for more. #LivingRootBridges #Nature

Got a new book and Iโ€™m pumped: Lo-TEK Design By Radical Indigenism. The living root bridges have been kicking around in my ol noggin for more than a decade now and Iโ€™m pretty sure that kind of design paradigm is one of the many bright possibilities for nurturing a future that is not an extractive hell realm of war and callousness. Iโ€™m not saying cool bridges will save the world, but I am saying that they probably have a better shot than any shitty PowerPoint floating round in some beige office about numbers going up.
