Episode 7: CarbonShack Design: The Pure Magic of Chloroplasts
The wonder of photosynthesis as the basis of all life as we know it, not to mention an essential way that carbon dioxide is sequestered, sparks the team to work with a master woodworker to design a history of plants in carved furniture for the main room in the CarbonShack, and to collaborate with an artist to make intricate, sculptural lighting fixtures based on diatoms, the microalgae generating a great deal of the oxygen produced on the planet each year.

There is no question about it. We are living in exciting times. Just this past year, 90 cities, ten counties and two states, have set targets for 100 renewable energy in the U.S. alone. Oil giants like Exxon Mobil and Shell are lobbying to advance the case for a carbon tax, solar is now cost competitive with fossil fuel powered electricity, and the Green New Deal is fundamentally changing the public’s rhetoric and confidence in climate solutions. Each day a fully decarbonized economy is looking more likely. However, the path to decarbonization is not linear.
