What's on wheels, full of windows and is mostly parked on the street? A car?! Noooo a greenhouse ! ...Instead of parked cars everywhere, what if we each had these little portable greenhouses parked outside our flats? No need to go to the grocery for fresh veggies, our little farms are all there! And you can take them with you camping; light enough to be pulled by an e-bike, scooter or small e-car. Complete with rain-water collector reservoir, the sun does the rest ....What do you think? Would you hire me to build these?

An idea stemmed from a walk with @42GB about how japan has no parked cars on its streets.

How do you imagine altering your eco-future by changing the little things for a big impact?

Seen on Reddit. This is AMAZING and I love the creativity and style.
The very idea that a high-viz jacket/vest could actually look good is so foreign, and yet here we are!
