Museums across London are highlighting the fight back against our planet’s greatest threat – climate change.
Climate change, global warming, pollution – we’ve all heard of it. It’s a frightening thing, and a very real threat to our planet. We visited some exhibits in museums across London to learn more about it, and how we’re fighting back.
Our Broken Planet
The Natural History Museum provides an insight into how we’ve negatively affected our planet.
Destroying Wildlife
Extinct bee species, bird nests made from plastic, dying oceans — wildlife is affected in ways you may not have realised.
The Facts
These statistics are worrying – but it’s not all doom and gloom.
How are we Helping?
Plucking Carbon from the Air
These Climeworks units shown at the Science Museum, can remove 50 tonnes of Co2 from the air each year.
Fighting Carbon With Carbon
Scientists are working on repurposing emissions. These products & plastics are all made with repurposed carbon. They’re also beginning to recycle emissions to fuel power stations.
Mechanical Trees? You Read That Right
This impressive contraption mimics the function of trees, using artificial photosynthesis to produce oxygen.
We CAN Make a Difference
An optimistic end to both exhibitions, which shows the public committing to help out – and you can too.
