Architect Kate Orff sees the oyster as an agent of urban change. Bundled into beds and sunk into city rivers, oysters slurp up pollution and make legendarily dirty waters clean -- thus driving even more innovation in "oyster-tecture." Orff shares her... vision for an urban landscape that links nature and humanity for mutual benefit. Kate Orff asks us to rethink “landscape”—to use urban greenspaces and blue spaces in fresh ways to mediate between humankind and nature. (10:00)

In this video: "According to the only book I currently have on my desk, everyone poops and that’s okay. What’s less okay though is when there’s nowhere for that poop to go- something people in Victorian era London found out first hand when all of the... sewage they’d pumped into the Thames dried up and caused a stench that spurred London’s City Press to note- “Gentility of speech is at an end—it stinks, and whoso once inhales the stink can never forget it and can count himself lucky if he lives to remember it.” " (10:26)

Protected patches of land are the only spaces some creatures have left to explore, find food, and make their homes -- away from all the angry traffic. But mucky rubbish flows all over the place when people put pollution into streams and rivers.
Pl...astic,
metal, styrofoam and other manufactured materials clog up our water
ways. So if you chuck stuff in the street you can expect to have to
drink it later on. Ewww!
Our living planet, and our earthling
family are more precious than anything man-made. Why should companies
make money by selling you stuff that destroys your own enviornment?
Don't buy it! And if you see a special spot in distress, have a think on
how you can help. In some cases you can ask the council to clean up
junk -- but it could take ages, and why should they have all the fun!?
The
mud might be squelchy and the rubbish is gross but it can be a great
adventure to go out of the road to help out -- and maybe meet a shiny
eel or mossy tortoise - realizing just how closely we are all connected
