Albania’s 700,000 mushroom bunkers may be the worst idea in history. Enver Hoxha, it’s dictator after WWII, was growing paranoid of invasion, and put his economically crippled country to building one bunker for every four people.
The problem was, no one wanted to invade the tiny country. And if they had, the bunkers wouldn’t have stopped them. How could the soldiers (actually civilians) hold up in there? How would the soldiers get bullets, or food, or orders? They only served to make Albanian people more paranoid themselves, and then to put Albania’s final nail in the coffin. Honestly, look it up.

In Bermuda, it’s mostly illegal to have a roof that doesn’t look like these ones. Is this a burden on freedom? A tyrannical government? It’s actually essential for survival. Bermudans have been doing this for centuries as there is almost no ground water, so they rely completely on the (pretty regular) rain. These roofs are made of local limestone and funnel the water into underground tanks. And on an island with almost no ground water, and without the freedom to build a non stepped roof, residents have the liberty of not paying a cent for water per year!

This greenhouse complex in Almería, Spain, practices some of the best sustainable farming techniques in Europe. But just decades ago it was still green. It’s clearly an eyesore, but is this what humanity needs to feed its ever growing numbers of hungry mouths?
