Wildfire Solutions with AI-IoT-blockchains

Our journey into wildfires and freshwater saving started in 2023. I (Desiree) was asked to be a judge at the yearly Brussels AIOTI hackathon. Hackathons are sometimes real mathy geeky things for software developers, and in this case, it was too. Blockchain and crypto geeks. The topic was blockchains. The technology behind crypto. Blockchains are accountancy ledgers of datamining. They also call it DeFi. Decentralized Finance. And it is used for many economic change mechanisms

Solutions to Microplastics Pollution

Everything is a design and with our Abundanism masterclass students we love to envision healthy futures and scale-up groundbreaking innovations. Our own journey has been a true journey. We became minimalists for abundance in 2012 and started designing projects, making ESG-consultancy reports full of interconnected solutions, and we scaled ecosystem restoration with education to ensure enough local resources and local economic activity. This was one of our masterclasses: Probl

Improving Sciences with Superformula Patterning

Sciences and sustainability are in limbo. The gap between Biology, Newton and Quantum is a patterning gap. If everything is connected, HOW do we include the hidden patterns and the “longtails” in our new, smart-healthy city designs without losing ourselves in correlations? How can we compare apples with pears and still make it “right” in scientific truth finding? For applied sciences and healthy solutions, it is not such a problem. The pattern recognizing shows the “sting” an

How to Design a Smart-Healthy Town of Infinite Abundance

7 colors = very practical = 6 directions and number 7 = time Designing a smart-healthy town of abundance is no rocket science. You design water absorption, you design light reflection so it doesn't burn. You design with photovoltaic cells and turn them toward the sun at a certain time. You use blue resonance to harvest also the light reflection. You choose edible plants everywhere and choose the smells in such a way that humans like it and mosquitoes and ats will be repelled.

Why Biomimicry?

Our planet spins already 5 billion years very fast in a universe. And we are glued inside with magnetic powers and nano-hairs. Van der Waals powers is the technical term. Gecko's do it too. They can walk on ceilings. But we walk on ceilings too. Because we spin! Why aren't our cheeks wobbly with G-power winds? Well we are IN the planet. And our ear-brain-connection keeps up upright. Our planet make everything from light (photosynthesis) and sound. And Mike and I are curious b

Nature-Based Solutions Life

In 2002, I came into regeneration, nature-based solutions, holistic sustainability, biomimicry, and system dynamics. What a mouth full! Why do we make the choices we make as sustainable innovators? Well, we all have different backgrounds, some more technical than others. Most people have a hard time understanding, because they know little about biology, physics, economy or good/bad technologies. Let alone what happened in our industrial era that's too toxic. And what is lucki
