Googly mischief: In Bend, Oregon (U.S.), public art sculptures are getting an unexpected upgrade. Giant googly eyes are mysteriously appearing on their surfaces. While many residents are charmed by the quirky additions, city officials are less amused, citing costly clean-up efforts to protect the sculptures from adhesive damage. Among the altered pieces are a family of deer, a towering sphere, and a steel horse, part of the city’s renowned Roundabout Art Route. Though some see the googly eyes as playful interaction with public art, officials urge residents to avoid causing harm. For now, the googly prank has sparked laughs, debates, and a little extra personality for Bend’s outdoor art displays, eyesores or not!

Chopstick transformation: A startup based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, is giving discarded chopsticks a second life by turning them into durable materials for furniture and decor. ChopValue collects hundreds of thousands of chopsticks weekly from restaurants, preventing them from ending up in landfills. These chopsticks are processed in micro-factories, where they’re pressed with a water-based resin to create a composite stronger than traditional wood. The resulting products, including tables and wall decor, are sold online and used in businesses across Canada and beyond. With countless chopsticks already transformed, the company proves that even small items can contribute to a sustainable future.

Snow artistry: Artist Simon Beck transforms snow-covered landscapes into stunning works of art using only snowshoes and a ski pole. A former mapmaker, he applies his engineering skills to meticulously plan intricate geometric designs, which require hours of walking and tens of thousands of steps to complete. While his creations are short-lived due to nature’s whims, he sees beauty in their impermanence and captures them in photographs for the world to admire. From snowy mountains to sandy beaches, Beck embraces the challenges of working in constantly shifting environments. His art, blending creativity and endurance, proves that even the simplest tools can create something extraordinary, one step at a time.

Mirrored skies: Stretching endlessly across Bolivia’s southwest corner near the Chilean border, Salar de Uyuni is a surreal expanse of dazzling salt. As water coats its surface during the rainy season, this vast flatland, formed by ancient lakes, transforms into a massive mirror, creating breathtaking reflections of the sky. Whether the surface is wet or dry, the flat is a photographer’s dream, offering endless creative opportunities for playing with perspective. Beyond its beauty, the flat contains immense lithium reserves, vital for powering modern devices, and its flawless surface is even used to calibrate satellite instruments. In this corner of the world, nature’s artistry truly shines crystal clear, and salt never looked so sweet.

Plastic revolution: Nzambi Matee is transforming Kenya’s plastic pollution problem by turning waste into durable building materials. Through her company, Gjenge Makers, she creates bricks from recycled plastic and sand, offering a sustainable alternative for construction projects like roads and housing. With a background in engineering, Matee began her research in a
small lab before scaling up production with advanced facilities. Her bricks, made through high-temperature compression, are lightweight, long-lasting, and far more durable than traditional bricks. By tackling plastic waste while addressing housing needs, Matee proves that solutions to environmental challenges can build stronger communities and a healthier planet.

Reindeer defence: In Norway’s snow-covered landscapes, reindeer herds have long puzzled predators with an extraordinary survival tactic: a spiralling formation called a “reindeer cyclone.” This tightly packed, whirling motion makes it very difficult for hunters to isolate a single target. A documentary has captured this rare behaviour, combining vivid Viking hunt re-enactments with footage of the herds in motion. Reindeer were vital to Viking life, providing resources like food, hides, and antlers for tools and trade. Artifacts preserved in Norway’s thawing ice reveal more about the tools Vikings used to hunt these elusive animals. In the end, nature’s choreography can leave even the fiercest hunters spinning in circles.

Ancient cure: A high school student, Destany “Sky” Pete of the Shoshone and Paiute Tribes, uncovered a powerful cancer-fighting potential in a traditional Indigenous American recipe. Inspired by the health challenges in her community, Sky tested chokecherry pudding, a dish known as toishabui, for its medicinal properties. Collaborating with a biochemistry professor, she found that the pudding, made with crushed chokecherry pits, killed cancer cells within 24 hours in lab tests. Rooted in ancestral wisdom, this discovery earned her top honours at a science fair and drew attention to the health benefits of traditional diets. Sky’s work blends ancient practices with modern science, proving that the past still holds life-changing secrets.
