Having lived in more than a few cities I know how important trees and green spaces are. Not just in terms of mental well being, and helping us stay in contact with nature, but in helping to fight pollution. Well some smart cookies in Germany think they have come up with a design to supercharge the power of plants, to help clean our air.

Hope you enjoy these green vibes and these other positive news stories.
