Trees arent liquid

People really like vandalizing trees, diseases exist, and they are less efficient carbon sinks

Like how we found it’s better to feed cattle seaweed than grass but nobody wants to because it’s different

Good thing people don't like to vandalize glass.

I guess it would take a lot of time to accommodate Mars for trees. More than for algae ;)

What happens when one of these breaks and drains into the sewer system? Algae blooms cause noxious odors and would proliferate quickly in the nitrogen-rich environment of human waste water, potentially building up as clogs in the sewer lines. And if the system drains into a natural body of water, the algae can have devastating toxic effects on the natural wildlife. If it doesn't drain and instead gets recycled, then the water treatment process becomes much more difficult and expensive.

Can't they just put the algae in the ocean?

If we put the algae in the oceans, then sink all of our cities underwater, all of our problems will be solved.
