By now most of us are aware about the issue of plastic pollution; It's had a lot of press coverage in recent years. Over one million animals are killed each year due to plastic debris. Ramon Knoester, the founder of Clear Rivers, noticed that 80% of plastics worldwide enters the oceans through rivers. Inspired by the need for innovation in floating architecture, Clear Rivers tested out the best ways to catch, sort and repurpose the plastics. They have created the floating park, a new structure on Rotterdam harbour filled with greenery to benefit not only humans but also urban wildlife. Now their patent can be applied on other rivers worldwide.

Cool Earth is determined to look after rainforests. Rainforests are one of the most complex ecosystems in the world. They’re not only home to millions of unique animal and plant species – but they also help maintain our planet’s water cycle. Indigenous communities have been living in harmony with nature for thousands of years. For many decades, oil and logging companies have been destroying their homes, taking large sections of forest - forcing these communities to relocate to unfamiliar territories. This is a global phenomenon, and we can only solve it as a species together.

Cody and Steve form a very unlikely pair. Cody has a herd of wild bison, and Steve leads individuals with physical and cognitive disabilities in outdoor recreation. When they met they asked themselves: what if we designed an adaptive bison viewing experience? "All Among the Bison" is about polar opposites meeting. On the one hand the symbol of strength, wilderness, speed and possibly danger, and on the other hand a symbol of vulnerability. Put these two together and the prospects are frightening, yet for Cody and Steve, it's a natural association -- one that sparks awe, humility and great faith that an inclusive and biodiverse future is very possible.

For most of us, they are indispensable, the first thing that we look at in the morning and the last thing that we look at at night. We carry them everywhere and worry if we misplace them. But, considering their importance, does anyone really know what, and who, was involved in the manufacture of their mobile, and where it goes once we’ve upgraded it?
