The ozone hole: a story that inspires eco-action!

Suppose you remember the 1980s, Madonna's hits, and new episodes of Dynasty.

All hands on deck! In the climate change mitigation efforts, every help will come in handy - from decision-makers and businesses to every one of us. Luckily, nature is our great ally in reducing the atmospheric carbon pool as it literally traps it ... in a marsh. Peatlands are, in fact, natural CO2e sinks.
