Electric car lovers and green activists need to take note of the Rinspeed Oasis, a self-driving concept car designed by German supplier and drive engineering company ZF and showcased at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit, Tuesday. The Rinspeed Oasis comes with a garden integrated under the bonnet of the vehicle, making it the 'greenest' concept we've ever seen. The project is the result of a collaboration between ZF, which supplied the car's technological components, and the Swiss automotive industry think tank Rinspeed, which owns the idea around the Rinspeed Oasis. The concept car is not actually planned for manufacture, but was instead designed to inspire the auto industry.
Josep Borrell, the EU foreign policy chief, holds a speech in Bruges to inaugurate the European Diplomatic Academy. "Europe is a garden," he says, praising the "combination of political freedom, economic prosperity and social cohesion". He urges European leaders, whom he compares to "gardeners", to help prevent the invasion of the "jungle". SOUNDBITE

The garden, Nature Urbaine, situated on the roof of Pavilion 6 was installed at the end of June by Agripolis and Cultures en Ville, and when fully operational will be the largest of its kind in all of Europe.

In Belgium, an improvised mini-garden in Brussels has burst into the public debate on ecological transformation.
