'Can utilities be integrated within a GreenBlue Urban RootSpace soil cell system?' is a question we commonly get asked! There's a prevalent misconception that utilities and tree roots cannot coexist, which has led to the cancellation of many planting projects—often unnecessarily. Our innovative soil cell systems, like RootSpace, are designed to protect utilities while promoting healthy tree growth. By recreating natural soil conditions, they guide roots away from utility lines, ensuring trees thrive without disrupting infrastructure. Perfect for urban environments, these systems safeguard utilities and help trees flourish.

With finite space and an ever-growing population, what are we to do with the dead? In our latest issue, Helena Pozniak looks at this grave problem in terms of how bad our current methods are for our planet and what the possible solutions may be. 🔥 Cremation releases about 245kg of carbon – 115,150 tonnes each year in the UK, according to Cemetery Development Services. ⚰ But burial is not necessarily the answer as it bears one of the heaviest carbon footprints. 💧 Alkaline hydrolysis, marketed as ‘water cremation’ or ‘aquamation’ is one option but does require 300 gallons of water per body. “I don’t know if this is the most responsible technology to incorporate into areas which lack water,” says Dr Philip Olson, philosopher and technology ethicist at Virginia Tech. 🌿 Another option is human composting, which takes far longer than cremation but requires just an eighth of the energy. https://lnkd.in/ewJ88dak

Cooling city air by 5.0 ± 3.5°C with botanical gardens. Air cooled by 3.8 ± 3.1°C thanks to lining streets with trees. Vegetated balconies reducing urban air temperatures by 3.8 ± 2.7°C. These are just some of the documented effects achieved by 'green infrastructure’ when deployed to combat rising temperatures in our cities.*   But how can cities—especially those short of cash and water—promote greenery? And how can they do so without diverting water needed for food production, drinking and sanitation?   Well, that’s where Atoco’s innovative Atmospheric Water Harvesting solution can play a decisive role. Compact, mobile and capable of running off-grid, the solution extracts clean, ready-to-use water from dry air—even when the relative humidity is as low as 20%.    *Read more about urban heat mitigation by green and blue infrastructure here https://lnkd.in/dCxc4sNk #climatechange #waterscarcity #decarbonization #reticularchemistry #desalination

Healthy soil nurtures life and feeds the future. On World Soil Day, let’s care for the ground beneath us and the life it sustains. Simple steps like composting, reducing chemical use, and planting native species can enrich the soil and protect our ecosystem. Let’s make a pact to live as one with nature, bringing the double bharosa of protection to our futures. #MaxLifeInsurance #WorldSoilDay Disclaimer: https://lnkd.in/gYSVA7Dx https://web-link.co/a7tps
