Oil spill clean-up is an expensive and complicated process that often harms marine life and further damages the environment. Burning increases carbon emissions and dispersants are terribly harmful for marine wildlife. Each approach has its own drawbacks and none are sustainable solutions. —Vikas Nandwana.

To create a sustainable environment, we need to contain air pollution. Trees capture and store atmospheric carbon and help cool the globe’s temperature. The soil also helps to address the climate crisis, as it stores more carbon than the world’s plants combined. Deforestation is contributing to climate change.
