- [Narrator] Carbon is at the heart of all life on Earth.

- Carbon dioxide equivalents or greenhouse gases are the things that are causing our climate to become more unstable.

- It's an easy solution.
We're not trying to, you know, build some machines that are gonna live and spin around in the ocean, right?
It's already here.
