Circular Design - 3D printed houses are a reality now | by @zmorph3d About 200 million years ago, the composition of earth’s atmosphere began to stabilise. When the carbon dioxide decreased in our atmosphere, and the proportion of oxygen increased, most of the species adapted to those anaerobic conditions became extinct; life as we now know started to emerge. Today, with our industries and our way of life we are creating conditions that are essentially reversing this natural evolution process. With increasing awareness, comes the need to undo the damage and to find new ways of human existence that don’t necessarily spell doom for our planet.

During the 2020 lockdown, we were able to directly investigate the actual effects of drastic traffic restrictions on the distribution of air pollutants and on the emission of climate gases.
