Good News: Floating Neighbourhoods, EU Nature Credits, and Ecosia’s Burkina Faso Tree Revival

A short, sharp burst of optimism from the built environment. This episode: how floating neighbourhoods can power and protect themselves; why the EU wants to put nature on the balance sheet; and a hopeful update from Burkina Faso where smart water-harvesting is helping 29,000+ new trees thrive. LISTEN IN LESS THAN 6 MINUTES HERE What This Under 6 Minute Episode Covers  Floating neighbourhoods: Modern floating platforms are typically hollow, creating space for decentralised systems—wastewater and drinking-water treatment, on-board electricity storage, floating solar, even algae/seaweed biofuels. That off-grid setup boosts resilience and, placed offshore, these structures can also reduce wave energy to help protect coasts during storms.  “Floating structures… offer opportunities to become more self-supporting and off-grid—more resilient.” Rutger de Graaf, Blue21 Tune into the full episode – Floating Futures here Courtesy Rutger de Graaf Floating-Pavilion EU
