The disruption of the planet’s carbon cycle threatens climate catastrophe. As we struggle to reduce our emissions, we desperately need carbon removal.

One of the biggest impacts we have on this planet, which also happens to have one of the quickest wins associated with appropriate solutions, is land management. Let’s discuss it!

Trees are super important for helping to manage our excessive carbon emitting behaviors. But can forests really deal with all the emissions we throw at them?

Can Carbon Capture technology really save us?

Direct Air Capture for removing carbon from the atmosphere

Carbon capture technology prevents or removes CO2 emissions, and stores them or utilizes them for other purposes. But can this tech really save us?

Cities are known as ‘concrete jungles’, with never ending construction and rapidly decreasing greenery. Some cities are working to find a new greener identity.

Soil is more than the dirt under our feet

Soil might not be sexy, but it’s as necessary for human life on Earth as oxygen. It isn’t obvious to look at, but soil is alive. A thriving community. In 1 teaspoon of healthy soil there are

Quick Fire Stats from the Depths of the Ocean

There’s some pretty well-known facts about the ocean and the impacts it will experience on account of the climate crisis. But additionally, there are some really interesting lesser known stats around the way our warming planet will affect ocean health, that of the creatures living within it, and indeed our human health, too.

We’re often asked our opinions on carbon offsetting. It’s a tough subject to talk about because people generally have a preconceived idea that this is a solution to Climate Change. We’ll cut you off at the pass – it’s not.

The Good and the Bad of Carbon

Carbon is a necessary part of all life on Earth. Every living thing contains carbon, as it’s required to form molecules like proteins, as well as being present in the ocean, rocks and, of course, our air.
