Embracing a panoramic view of carbon’s omnipresence, he explores how this ubiquitous and essential element extends into every aperture of existence and shapes the entire fabric of life.

Notre monde est en pleine mutation, le climat change. Des espèces qui ont longtemps existé sur notre planète disparaissent et les ressources se raréfient. Les gens commencent à se rendre compte que le développement n'est pas toujours une bonne chose. Nous exploitons notre Terre, alors que nous devrions en prendre soin, car nous n'en avons qu'une. Lentement, cependant, un changement de mentalité s'opère, les gens essaient de revenir sur les erreurs du passé. On essaie de réduire les émissions de CO₂, de préserver les ressources de la Terre et de prendre davantage soin de la nature.
