  2. #NewZealand / #Aotearoa #CommunityGardens - #NUWAO

    "NUWAO aims to develop #NatureBased #UrbanDesign solutions, rooted in #Indigenousknowledges that support #ClimateChange adaptation and individual and community wellbeing in different contexts across Aotearoa and #Oceania.

    Relationship to #IndigenousKnowledge

    Indigenous communities worldwide have cultivated land for generations, crafting sustainable agricultural techniques in harmony with nature and rooted in local ecosystems. Throughout #TeMoananui Oceania, a rich diversity of TraditionalAgriculture and #agroforestry practices exists (Thaman, 1994, Thaman et al., 2006), and can be the basis of, or integrate into community gardens.

    Community gardens can blend traditional methods, Indigenous #EcologicalKnowledge, and cultural values into their design, plant selection, and upkeep. Community gardens serve as vital spaces for honouring and preserving indigenous knowledge. They embrace traditional plant varieties, cultivation methods, and seasonal cycles passed down through generations.

    Moreover, these gardens act as hubs for intergenerational knowledge exchange, with elders imparting wisdom to younger members, ensuring the continuity of traditional practices. These gardens can also foster #CulturalExchange and understanding, offering platforms for Indigenous and non-Indigenous individuals to come together, learn from one another, and foster mutual respect. By embracing Indigenous knowledge, community gardens can not only bolster environmental #sustainability and food security but also fortify #CulturalResilience and advocate for #SocialJustice."

  3. Someone finally built the car that charges itself.

    Just talked to Robert Hoevers, CEO of Squad Mobility, about their solar-powered city car. Panel on the roof. Battery underneath. Park it in the sun, drive it around town—it just keeps charging.

    Live somewhere sunny? You literally never plug in. The average person drives 12km a day for errands. This does 150km max range. The math works.

    5,300 pre-orders. €1.5M in European funding. Production starts next year.
    Street legal. Crash tested.
    Robert put it simply: "It's like a second car."

    Exactly. Not for highway commutes but perfect for the grocery run, city trip, the school drop-off and all those short trips where driving a massive polluting vehicle makes zero sense.

    Sometimes the obvious solution just needed someone to build it.
