Moss absorbs 4x more COz than trees, grows without soil, and helps cool cities. Stop removing it. #moss #CO2 #trees #soil #cooling #leavealone

Oh, good, an excuse to NOT go on the roof and get it off the sides of my solar panels.

Fun fact. You can take Moss, blend it with yogurt, then paint on surfaces and it will grow. You do need to use a blender.

Yes, we all just need to be educated, though to ensure we are putting it on the right surfaces and that the moisture that the moss holds onto then doesn’t corrode and cause mold and destruction in itself. We need to form educated projects to ensure the highest potential for success

It’s also great for soil health and instead of grass think less maintenance. You don’t have to cut it every once in a while it’s lush it absorbs and holds tons of moisture and it just overall helps the entire eco system it’s around

Just imagine folks how much greener place like downtown Toronto could be if as long as done properly we started adding moss to the outside. Office building walls. Imagine how much greener the downtown core could be just simply adding Moss wall installments.

I can't find a source for this claim

I mean the CO2 claim specifically.

Hmm the paper referenced in the article doesn't seem to claim that, unfortunately, unless I'm missing something. I can post a link to the paper if you like?

Yes I re read the paper myself and am seeing the flaws in the claim. However, it doesn’t diminish the overall importance of Moss and how it plays a vital role in preserving and protect protecting our soil ecosystems. I know in the right settings as well. It can be a great replacement for grass

Because if it’s moisture absorption, which also then AIDS and helping up the rest of the biodiversity around it, including trees, wild flowers, that help promote me pollen population, etc. So yes, this claim has been stretched and manipulated cause again in climates were trees

Have harder times growing like in wetlands in some cases moss takes over because it has been able to thrive in those climates and it then takes over as one of the key CO2 components and yes, as I read another article it’s not even the moss itself in some cases it’s the moss helping protect

The soils that it sits on helping protect its mini little ecosystem that’s under our feet every day helps slow certain processes down or speed certain processes up to keep the healthy soil going essentially. Ultimately moss is fascinating and it would be fantastic to integrate

Back into our societies in Metropolitan cities, even in small ways, even if everyone converted their front lawns to Moss lawns and just think less mowing needing to be done, less yardwork, needing to be done keeps your backyard for your kids to play on and destroy the grass boost the local ecosystem

In the front, the microorganisms in the micro beans of our world, like ants and bees and moss in the soils, even mushrooms it is such a fascinating study and what they all do for us and how much we are destroying them. It’s just all incredibly fascinating.

I'd like one moss, please.

Right?! it just imagine how incredible our cities and homes could look because mass itself is just so much prettier than grass

You can propagate moss by putting a small amount in a blender with plain yogurt or buttermilk, painting the "slurry" on rock, brick, or bare wood, in indirect light. Keep moist.

Well, let’s put it in more places. It would make some great murals.

We just have to be smart with it because if we put it on the wrong surfaces or don’t treat those surfaces properly, it can cause more harm than good to the infrastructure that we already have but yes, if done correctly, it would be phenomenal in urban spaces across the country
