In the Netherlands and Belgium, entire cities are now competing to rip up pavement and replace it with green space. Over 11 million tiles already removed. Why it works: - Soaks up rainwater - Lowers urban temperatures - Boosts biodiversity - Makes cities more livable Sometimes climate solutions aren’t about…
Drop them in water → they dissolve in minutes. No microplastics. No toxins. Just… gone. Solubag could end the grocery bag problem we’ve been “reducing, reusing, and recycling” for decades, by replacing plastic altogether. Why it’s a breakthrough: 1️⃣ Dissolves completely in water 2️⃣ Strong as plastic (until you’re done…
Meet the Vetiver Khus Parda, a curtain made from the aromatic roots of vetiver grass. When damp, the roots naturally cool the air as it passes through, filling the room with a fresh, earthy aroma. How it works: 1️⃣ Sprinkle water 2–3 times a day 2️⃣ Let the breeze pass…
They turned the unfinished airport site into one of the largest urban parks on Earth, Lake Texcoco Ecological Park — 14,000 hectares (twice the size of Manhattan) of restored lakes, wetlands, and green space. 🌱 Nature wins: 600 hectares of lakes & wetlands restored Habitat for 370+ species, including the…
Finnish startup Polar Night Energy has figured out how to store renewable energy in… sand. Here’s why it matters: 1️⃣ Stores excess wind & solar as heat for months 2️⃣ Can warm homes, offices, even swimming pools 3️⃣ Uses cheap, abundant, and recyclable material Why is this a big deal?…
Meet the LaserWeeder by Carbon Robotics, an AI-powered tractor that scans fields with 42 cameras, identifies weeds with millimeter precision, and blasts them with 30 high-powered lasers. The result? No pesticides. No chemicals. Just cleaner, healthier crops. Here’s why it’s a game-changer: 1️⃣ Zero herbicides → no glyphosate in our…
Planted in 1248, the Linden Tree of Kamenice nad Lipou has been standing for over 800 years, longer than the town itself has officially existed. It’s more than just a tree. It’s a living witness to wars, peace treaties, generations of families, and centuries of change. Its name is woven…
This tiny plant is one of nature’s quiet powerhouses: Purifies air by absorbing pollutants Holds water like a sponge, preventing soil erosion Creates microhabitats for countless species It’s been thriving for 450 million years, long before trees existed, and could play a big role in restoring degraded ecosystems today. Sometimes…
Peat, a centuries-old fuel source, has been used for generations in Ireland. But now, with sustainability in mind, its role in the energy future is being re-examined. 🌱 The twist? Researchers are finding ways to improve its environmental impact, making it a viable eco-friendlier alternative to coal, without sacrificing energy…
That’s the mission behind @sungaiwatch and @sungai_design, founded by @sambencheghib. 🛶 Thousands of kilos of trash removed ♻️ Recycled into sunglasses, furniture, even art 🌏 Protecting rivers before the plastic reaches the ocean It’s not just cleanup, it’s circular design with impact. One river at a time. One product at…
How Sweden fixes road cracks is a masterclass in precision. 🚧 No endless traffic jams. 🚧 No messy patch jobs. 🚧 Just clean, efficient repairs, even in brutal winter weather. It’s not just about smooth streets. It’s about safer roads, longer-lasting infrastructure, and lower maintenance costs over time. Imagine if…
Instead of manual labor or water-intensive cleaning, autonomous robots now glide over solar panels, wiping away dust and debris that can cut efficiency by up to 30%. The smartest part? Some of these robots run on their own solar panels. Meaning they clean… using the very power they’re protecting. Less…
Uruguay: The Only Country Using Earth’s Resources Sustainably 🇺🇾💚 Out of 195 countries, only one is statistically living within the planet’s means. So what’s Uruguay doing right while the rest of the world overshoots? ✅ 98% renewable energy—wind, solar, and hydro dominate the grid. ✅ Sustainable farming—small-scale, regenerative agriculture is…
We’ve never been more disconnected. From our food. From our communities. From our purpose.
