Let’s design cities and architecture that have a deeper connection with nature. Because one of the best ways to design something is to see how nature has already designed things to withstand the environment. Nature has been around a lot longer than humans have, so being able to connect and understand how we can make our cities more aligned with nature is super important to the sustainability of cities in the future.

And we have so many solutions out there that use biomimicry in their design. But sometimes it can be hard to find those solutions.

Which is one of the reasons why my guest, Jana Skokan, created a marketplace for greentech and sustainable solutions that are rooted in nature. Giving space for greentech businesses to show off what they have to offer to the world.

To learn how you can get involved into this platform and show off your greentech product to the world, make sure you visit https://frogeex.com/ and check out this entire episode to hear all the things that Jana has planned for the community and marketplace she is building.

Artificial reefs don’t just have to be sunken ships, but can be beautiful works of art as well. These reefs can become a tourist attraction and a chance to learn about ocean restoration efforts.

Shelby Thomas and her team at Ocean Rescue Alliance are creating artificial reefs to increase engagement and understanding around how we can save our ocean habitats.

Because although the ocean can be so mysterious, all life depends so much on the ocean, and the ocean not just being there, but being healthy as well.

So make sure you listen to this entire episode to understand how Shelby is not only creating beautiful artificial reefs, but educating the public on the importance of ocean ecosystems and why it is so important to preserve them.
