Catching Clouds
by Futoshi Tachino In the Anti-Atlas mountains of southwest Morocco, fog rolls inland from the Atlantic and clings to ridgelines above the Amazigh (Berber) communities of Aït Baamrane. For decades, that fog was little more than a damp inconvenience in a place short on rain and poorer still in pipes. Then a local NGO, Dar Si Hmad, turned it into a municipal water source—stringing engineered meshes along a windy ridge, funneling condensed droplets into tanks, and gravity-feeding the result down to village taps. It’s one of the world’s largest fog-to-water systems and a rare example of a climate solution that is passive, energy-free in operation, and profoundly shaped by the people it serves.

The Living Canvas
M Mehran Earth is more than a planet. It is a living canvas, painted with mountains, rivers, forests, and skies. It breathes in winds, whispers in oceans, and pulses beneath our feet with a rhythm older than humanity itself. Yet, despite its beauty, humans often forget that we are merely guests in this vast masterpiece.

The First Time I Went Hiking and Found Peace in Nature
I still remember the day I decided to go on my very first hike. It wasn’t some grand plan to conquer a mountain or tick off a bucket list. Honestly, it was just a quiet Saturday, and I had nothing else to do. A friend had mentioned a local trail not too far from town, and something in me decided that maybe I should try it. At that point, I had no idea how much a simple walk in the woods would change me.

Wildfire Mitigation in Utilities
Wildfires have become one of the most pressing environmental and safety challenges of our time. Rising global temperatures, prolonged droughts, and extreme weather patterns are driving an increase in the frequency and intensity of wildfires. For utilities—companies responsible for delivering electricity, gas, and water—these fires present not only an operational hazard but also a major public safety issue. As utilities are often cited as a source of ignition in some of the most destructive wildfires, the industry is under mounting pressure to strengthen its wildfire mitigation strategies.

The Living Miracle Called Earth
M Mehran Sometimes I forget that I live on a miracle. I wake up, scroll my phone, rush to work, complain about the weather, and go to bed without once remembering that beneath my feet spins the only known planet to cradle life in the entire universe. Earth—our home—is not just a backdrop to our lives. It is the story itself.
