Using deciduous plants for solar temp control is such a mindblowing and obvious-in-hindsight idea

Plant deciduous climbers over your south-facing wall to insulate/cool the wall during the summer without shading it in the winter! Plant deciduous trees in front of windows! Designing with plants is so cool and it's the closest thing we currently have to widely available biotech!!!!

@socalledunitedstates Sometimes I forget that this kind of stuff is not common. I would never think of writing it, as I wouldn't write "you know, if you use soap you can wash yourself better".

Dangerous mindset I guess.
