Wondrium and Bill Gates partnered for a docu-course on climate solutions. Solving for Zero: The Search for Climate Innovations looks at the past, present, and future of climate change. Prepare to find hope within the big picture. […]
Most aspects of our lives involve tech that makes carbon emissions. In order to reduce those emissions to net zero, drastic changes will need to be made. This week on Wondrium Shorts, see the bigger picture. […]
Reaching net-zero carbon emissions requires big changes. From shipping to energy, from building materials to daily transportation, humanity has to do almost everything differently. Growing food is one such area of change. […]
Most climate change documentaries strike a gloomy, pessimistic tone. Wondrium and Bill Gates want to change that in the new documentary “Solving for Zero”. […]
