How can carbon be remade into stuff that we want and use every day?
Imagine a world where all the products we want and interact with become 'carbon sinks' and reduce atmospheric carbon emissions.
in this world, when you buy a product, you'd decarbonise the atmosphere, make sure that the carbon stays out of the atmosphere and is repurposed in innovative ways.
Production and consumption would be sustainable and have a positive impact.
How can carbon help us fight climate change?
