I was fed up of feeling guilty for consuming and traveling, so I decided to grow trees to absorb my CO2 emissions. I bought a piece of land in 2005 and 15 years later, that land is covered with 20,000 ten-year-old trees.
When I started planting trees to offset my CO2 emissions, I was thinking of only two things: sequestering CO2 and cleaning up land worn out by intensive agriculture. My next challenge is to understand if it can help me contribute to other natural cycles.
100% solar and self-sufficient buildings, this was the promise of many project leaders around the world throughout the 2000s. Fifteen years later, where are we? Will the miracle of autonomous buildings be achieved?
