Episodes
The Climate Restorers is four hour-long films, which can be seen as parts, or episodes.
Part 1 - a rich overview of what climate restoration is, how it is being developed around the world, and the most serious issue for focus: methane, the most potent greenhouse gas.
Part 2 - carbon-negative buildings and settlements, through artificial limestone and organic plant- and algae-based technologies.
Part 3 - 'blue carbon' and the ocean solutions of seaweed permaculture and management, ocean sequestration and coastal livelihoods.
Part 4 - Bringing biochar, soil management and regenerative farming into focus with vast-scale ecosystem restoration and the changes we need to make in society - to avert our trajectory of a risky, unstable future.
Part 1- The only way to predict the future is to create it
- the why, and 'the sprint,' for methane and other super-pollutants
