-Small and sustainable: 'Tiny houses' could be solution to world’s housing problems
-Rubbish isn’t useless – it can be converted into something entirely new, such as:
1-Free health care: Indonesia allows people to trade valuable rubbish for access to doctors - a grand idea that simultaneously tackles poverty, health care roadblocks and pollution in poor countries.
2-Home heating: Italy ships 70,000 tonnes of trash to Austria a year where it’s burnt and converted to electricity.
3-New roads: One way to become a zero-plastic society? Follow India’s lead, and take the plastic rubbish and turn it into material that can be used to pave roads.
4-Microscopic dust: Thrown-out electronics are choking landfills worldwide – but smashing them into nano-bits to create new materials might be easier and better than recycling.
5-Train infrastructure: A railway car made from a mix of concrete and old tyres increases durability, is quieter, and re-uses 35 tonnes of waste for each kilometre of rail line.
-The energy of the future is green, clean… sometimes, bizarre.
1-Pollution-monitoring moss: The EU is turning to a cheap, clean, easy-to-install sensor for contaminated air: cloned moss.
2-Monster ships made from fibre: The global economy hinges on global trade – but current cargo ships are expensive and bad for the environment. That’s why the EU is making huge, futuristic, recyclable ships made from fibre instead of steel.
3-Pee power: In the developing world, it could be enough to charge a mobile phone or power indoor lighting, Bristol researchers say.
4-Skyscrapers that morph wind and sunlight into energy: One plan in New York aims to turn America’s biggest city into a “climate laboratory” to save money and energy.
5-Covering lakes with solar panels: Population booms deplete energy resources and also crowd tiny strips of land – so countries like Japan are plopping massive solar panels on top of lakes and rivers.
-Wind-powered rail
Dutch trains now run 100% on wind power. The Netherlands had aimed to achieve this ambitious goal by 2018, but ticked the box early in January.

Great list. I would add Generative AI to the list. Its ability to create original new content by harnessing huge datasets has been transformative, injecting fresh energy (and new scares) into the writing, music and photography industry. It has streamlined our operations and made work more efficient. But it has given rise to deepfakes, which may be used for the wrong purposes.
