🌍 Taking Back Control of the Internet & Turning Textile Waste Into Profit

This week on Somewhere on Earth, we explore two groundbreaking ideas: taking back control of your online creativity and transforming fast-fashion waste with the power of fungi.

 

1️⃣ Rebuilding a Human Internet

Rabble (Evan Henshaw-Plath), Co-creator of Nostr Divine Rabble, Twitter’s first engineer, unveils Divine - a new six-second video platform that rejects algorithms, bans AI-generated slop, and returns ownership of old content to creators. Built on open social protocols, Divine aims to restore a human, interoperable, user-driven internet.

 

2️⃣ Mushrooms vs. Fast Fashion

Tomasz Mierzwa, Co-founder of Myco Renew is on the show to explain how their fungal bioreactors can break down textiles - even polyester - in weeks and turn the leftovers into eco-bricks and new biomaterials. With 92 million tons of clothes thrown out yearly, this fungi-powered circular model could help clean up landfills from Poland to Ghana.
