Topic: The power of trees by Peter Wohlleben review - out of the woods

Category: conversations 

The article that we got given addressed the issue of climate change and raised awareness of the fact that nothing can solve the problem of global warming more than nature. Planting new trees isn't the most appropriate solution as they usually take a lot longer to provide our planet with the same levels of oxygen as already existing trees. 

When writing our brief, we wanted to focus on the problem of deforestation and the misconception of how planting trees resolves the issue. We encouraged our potential designer to create an immersive experience and raise awareness through senses to educate people about this global problem and the misconception surrounding tree-planting. 

notes:

- how do we provoke the conversation about trees

- tree preservation

- Ecosia

- selective logging is pretty much as bad as clear-cutting, as it damages 40% of surrounding trees
