Climate Change? Shlimate Change!

It's time for humans to move cities, towns and transportation underground:

Building underground offers several advantages, including:

1 Energy Efficiency: Underground homes have excellent thermal and insulative properties, making them energy-efficient in any climate
The surrounding soil acts as a natural insulator, helping to regulate temperature and reduce the need for heating or cooling systems.

2 Environmental Benefits: Underground housing is environmentally friendly, as it minimizes the visual impact on the landscape and reduces the need for land clearing. It can also contribute to energy conservation and sustainability efforts.

3 Protection from Severe Weather: Underground buildings are more resilient and can withstand severe weather conditions, such as storms and extreme temperatures. The surrounding soil provides natural protection and insulation.

4 Noise Reduction: Underground homes offer a quieter living environment due to the sound-absorbing properties of the surrounding soil. This can be especially beneficial for those seeking a peaceful and tranquil living space.

5 Effective Use of Urban Space: Underground development allows for the efficient use of available urban space. It provides opportunities to maximize land utilization without encroaching on the surface area.

Here are some recordings I've made over the years (from the 1980s to present). https://soundcloud.com/adamsweetonline

You probably see a theme. Yes, I play mostly "traditional" music, folk and Americana

the opposite of #loneliness is #contentment 🙂
Here are some things I've learned in my years:
1. practice contentment as a skill by focusing on what you already have in your life instead of seeking to add more things
2. accept the present moment and let go of cravings for what you can't have
3. differentiate between happiness and contentment, as they are not the same thing
4. focus on personal growth, cultivate gratitude, and build strong relationships

@greenpeace I believe it's time for humans to go underground. Cities, towns and even rural areas can benefit by building underground:

It provides opportunities to maximize land utilization without encroaching on the surface area.

To get started with building underground, consider the following steps:
Research and Planning: Familiarize yourself with the concept of underground construction and gather information about the specific requirements and regulations in your area. Consult with experts, architects, and engineers who specialize in underground construction.
Site Selection: Choose a suitable location for your underground project, considering factors such as soil conditions, drainage, accessibility, and proximity to utilities.
Design and Engineering: Work with professionals to develop a detailed design and engineering plan for your underground structure. This includes considerations for structural integrity, ventilation, lighting, and utility connections.
Permits and Approvals: Obtain the necessary permits and approvals from local authorities before starting construction. Ensure compliance with building codes and regulations specific to underground construction.
Construction and Implementation: Hire experienced contractors and construction teams with expertise in underground construction. Follow the design plans and specifications to ensure the successful execution of the project.
Safety and Maintenance: Prioritize safety during construction and implement proper safety measures. Once the construction is complete, establish a regular maintenance routine to ensure the longevity and functionality of your underground structure.
Remember that building underground can be a complex and specialized endeavor. It is essential to work with professionals who have experience in this type of construction to ensure a successful and safe project.

@tkwfm186 I like it very much as well, but uploading video and pictures from the #Android app, not so much. In fact, you can't at all. The pics upload, the message is 100%, but then it freezes and nothing happens.
