A lot of carbon is stored in our forests. Trees are great at cleaning carbon out of the air and holding on to it. This would be fine but trees and forests are living things and they do, from time to time, die. Sometimes much faster, and more abruptly, than we would like. And when that happens, that carbon gets put right back into the air.

Green energy is doing VERY well in Australia! The country added 3.5 gigawatts of clean energy projects in 2018 and the output is expected to increase 36% this year alone.

Coral reefs are important habitats for sea life not to mention living creatures all of their own. Trawling really did a number on many reefs that was so terrible it was expected that those reefs would never recover. But good news! After some time protected from humanity, they’re appear to be bouncing back.
Privacy in our connected world is a big concern. Who has access to our conversations and other interactions is something that many people would like more control over. Sylo hopes to give users a completely private platform with the ease of some of the top messaging options.
