🇳🇱 In the Netherlands, bricks are learning to breathe.

A green-tech innovation is transforming ordinary buildings into living walls — by designing bricks that invite moss to grow directly on their surface.

These moss-friendly bricks require no soil, no maintenance — just rain and wind.
And what they offer in return is remarkable:

🌱 Purify urban air
🌡️ Cool buildings and streets by up to 7°C
🌍 Capture and store CO₂ naturally

In the city of Leiden, schools and bus stops are being cloaked in moss — turning everyday walls into air-cleaning, climate-cooling ecosystems.

This isn’t just decoration. It’s a defense against urban heat and pollution.
A quiet, green revolution is rising — brick by brick.

🛑 Ticks Hate These! 🐜

Hey friends! Have you ever been outside enjoying nature, only to worry about ticks? I used to feel the same way until I discovered the magic of essential oils! 🌿 These natural wonders keep ticks away without harmful chemicals.

My favorite mix is cedarwood and citronella, but you can use whatever scents you love! 🌼 Just add about 20 drops of essential oils to a spray bottle, fill it with water, shake, and spray!

Have you tried making your own natural sprays? Share your tips or favorite oils in the comments! 💬
