Description: Explore the interventions that could reverse the environmental damage humans have caused.

In our time on planet Earth, humans have had a massive and undeniable impact. In fact, one so great that some argue we’ve sparked an entirely new geological era: the Anthropocene.

Humans now control the world’s major rivers, our biomass outweighs that of wild mammals eight to one, and we’ve directly altered half of the ice-free land on our planet. Our species has been incredibly successful. But that success has come at a heavy cost: atmospheric and oceanic warming, extinction, desertification, and deglaciation.

In the past, people spoke of “the control of nature” –⁠ in other words, using technology to solve the problems that nature presented. Those solutions, however, created entirely different problems –⁠ ones that are now in dire need of solving. These blinks tell their story.
