Inspired by COP26 and the EarthShot Prize 21, this year our curiosity led us to find other, even better ways of reducing CO₂ from the earth's atmosphere than planting trees.

Kelp, seaweed and algae are actually the most efficient way to reduce CO₂ and this new ocean economy is key in fighting climate change.
