As cop27 winds up in egypt, this week well look at some of the latest tech that is trying to clean up our planet. well muster up a mass of moss thats mopping up the mess in the air. thats easy for you to say! we will find out if hydrogen can do the heavy lifting. and check out our latest merch. if you dont like the band, dont worry, the logo comes back off. once again, the leaders of the world have been coming together in an effort to fight climate change. as cop27 comes to a close, campaigners ...

Technologies, it may be worth taking a lead from something thats been right under our feet the whole time. after all, nature has been regulating the environment much longer than weve been disrupting it. moss — whod have thought it could be so useful? the lungs of a city! natures natural filter. now, as companies try to reduce their carbon footprint and their impact on the climate, there are lots of different things that they could try. you could change your manufacturing process, how you trans...

And of course, pulling pollutants out of the atmosphere could help cool more than just your local surroundings. air pollution and climate change are also directly related. we have pollutants in air pollution — for instance, black carbon, which speed up the heating of the planet. and by binding those pollutants, we also as well as pulling pollutants out of the air, help to decelerate climate change. youll already see these biofilters in several cities around the world, although you might not ha...

So, you can imagine, like the normal plants, it takes the nutrients from the earth, but its moss, it can capture everything. the second thing is, like, every plant, moss can absorb c02 because it needs for photosynthesis, for the energy. but the benefit is the density of the moss is pretty high, so we need this higher leaf—surface ratio to capture as much as possible. so, now we are going to take a sample. you? i can do it? for sure. lets tweeze some moss. got some. perfect. now we can have a ...

And just like the lungs of a smoker, which end up getting blackened by tar, moss could act like the lungs of a city, eventually being covered in the stuff that we dont want to breathe. so, this is from our one active products. and the black — the black bits are the... exactly. this is the fine dust or particles from polluted air. and these are the green cells. and it means that the moss is still healthy because its green. but they are pretty powerful. really good. moss fan. well, yeah — i am...

Ccool about moss is that this plant doesnt have roots, so they can capture all nutrients through the walls, leaves or leaves�* surface. so, you can imagine, like the normal plants, it takes the nutrients from the earth, but its moss. it can capture everything. the second thing is, like, every plants moss can absorb c02 because it needs for photosynthesis, for the energy. but the benefit is the density of the moss is pretty high, so we need this higher leaf—surface ratio to capture as much as...

Temperature�*s about, what, room temperature. but look — when i point this at the air thats coming out of the moss when you switch the ventilation on, look how much cooler it is. so not only does this clean the air, it cools it, too. and of course, pulling pollutants out of the atmosphere could help cool more than just your local surroundings. air pollution and climate change are also directly related. we have pollutants in air pollution — for instance, black carbon — which speed up the ...

The plant acts a lot like a human lung, whose high surface area can absorb a lot of the air in one go. and just like the lungs of a smoker, which end up getting blackened by tar, moss could act like the lungs of a city, eventually being covered in the stuff that we dont want to breathe. so, this is from our one active product. and the black bits are the... exactly. this is the fine dust, or particles from polluted air. and these are the green cells. and it means that the moss is still healthy, b...

To freshen up our urban air. this is a biofilter which is sucking air in through the bottom and pumping it back out through this wall of moss. to illustrate that, weve got a smoke machine from the local discotheque. and if i just show you... there you go. its going in through the bottom and out through the moss. and what happens to the air as it comes back out through the moss is where the magic happens. moss eats pollution. it sticks to its tiny leaves. its absorbed, digested, and then is turne...
