Talk about a tremendous idea and project. Dan Barasch and James Ramsey want to transform the "Delancey Underground", a trolley terminal located in Manhattan's LES, that's been out of use since 1948 into the world's first underground park. From what I understand, they're going to use a new technology which would capture sunlight from the outside, channel that light through a fiber optic cable which would then "release" that light underground. This would allow for photosynthesis, which means that plants and trees would be able to grow and live. The idea has received a lot of praise and you can help them out.
They need 100,000$ to build a mini version of "LowLine Park" to demonstrate that this can actually work. And after a week on kickstarter they've already accumulated 64,000$ with 38 days to go.
Here's the video of the project by the creators themselves:
