From sea moss superfoods and memorial reefs that turn human ashes into coral habitats to breakthrough plastics that dissolve in seawater and soil without leaving a trace. Plus, they mention more of the week’s top headlines on climate, health, and connection, like community dementia cafés, a ‘Green Fee’ in Hawaii, and the subtle science of trust. Tune in for a grounded yet hopeful look at where sustainability and human dignity meet.
