Let me share with you a harsh reality that needs to be heard and stopped!
Trees in the Amazon rainforest are chopped down at an unprecedented rate according to the (Brazilian Space Agency, 2022).

Earth Day and Earth Week is a time for me to reflect on important aspects of the climate crisis. It is a time for action and advocacy. Several thoughts come to mind: Is modern society living in harmony with our beautiful Mother Earth? How can I reduce my carbon footprint while implementing new sustainable solutions into my everyday life? How can I engage in sustainable actions with my friends and family?

As the earth continues to warm, we are faced with the harsh reality that countries are not taking enough action to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gasses.
The effects are clearly visible around the globe, as extreme weather events displaced more than 13 million people across Africa and Asia in 2019.

Serbia Thinking Greener
With LIQUID3 CO2 – O2
Sustainable solutions come in many forms and sizes as indicated in my blogs. I am proud to spotlight Serbia’s effort to bring climate change awareness and carbon sequestration to the heart of their capital city, Belgrade in the form of an outdoor urban photo bioreactor that uses the process of photosynthesis to convert Carbon Dioxide (CO2) to Oxygen (O2)!
Wow… sounds complicated and expensive. This tech, called LIQUID3 is not so complicated and is also financially feasible. LIQUID3 is the solution! It is a safe, simple, and inexpensive technology serving as an educational component implemented into the city’s streetscape. LIQUID3 sequestration of carbon contributes to the reduction of Greenhouse Gasses (GHG) in the air… Continue reading
