Cider Fountain at Happy Hour
Batlow Apple Cider, all the way from the Snowy Mountains in New South Wales, Australia, was served through an Arqua Drinking Fountain.
Experiments getting the water pressure right paid off, as a whole keg was served to an intrigued audience. (Please note the Cider Fountain is a prototype designed for the event and not for hire/sale.)

In rapidly urbanising Seoul, the next battle is saving green spaces: “Korea is a country that does not value greenery,” professor of landscape architecture at Pusan National University, Hong Suk Hwan, told Bloomberg CityLab. It “only acknowledges the value of property.” Samgmi Cha writes about South Korean local, 34-year-old Baik SooHye inspiring the shift of devaluing green spaces in South Korea to saving these spaces. SooHye’s ‘Plant Kindergarten’ project encourages the protection of hundreds of plants that are often destroyed at construction sites across Seoul.

The rescued plants are ‘adopted’ out to others who are also passionate about green spaces in Korea. SooHye says, “I see ‘Plant Kindergarten’ as my …
