Rainbow olives

This is an ancient variety of olives, growing in Valdera, South-East of Pisa, Tuscany. It grows from olive trees where the rainbow has passed by at least twice in eighteen years, in even days of the week, combined with the unique characteristics of the soil in this area. Some of these plants are in the I Cipressi farm.

BuioMetria Partecipativa published as a case study on Public Lab

Buiometria partecipativa (i.e. participatory night sky quality monitoring), which was started in 2008 as a citizen science project to raise awareness on light pollution, starting from the idea of two environmental engineers combined with the network of palla a 21 players as an initial base, and then grown over the years obtaining international recognition, has been recently re-published as a case study by Public Lab. This is an international association basesd in the USA with the mission of pursuing environmental justice through community science and open technology:
