onto your plate. plus we ve got reservations with the michelin star chef putting sustainability on the menu. we start with the tiny shellfish playing a big role in our ecosystems. decades ago these waters along the east coast of the united states were teeming with oysters. but after generations of overharvesting they nearly disappeared. now teams are working to restore our local oyster populations, notjust because they re delicious but because of their incredible power to clean up the pollution we leave behind. the waterways of the chesapeake bay stretch across six states with millions of people living near its shores. it s one of the world s largest estuaries, but also one of the most polluted. now, a small sometimes overlooked creature is being restored to help us clean up the mess. oysters are making a comeback. i look at each oyster as a living water treatment plant. they re essentially like the kidneys of the chesapeake bay. oysters are more than just a happy hour de
and as our population continues to grow, that impact will only become bigger. whether you re a meat eater, a vegan, or maybe somewhere in between, we ve got a feast of climate solutions that can help keep you and our planet healthy. i m carl nasman and this is future earth. welcome to the new series shining a light on the simple real world solutions we already have to help us solve the biggest challenge of our lifetimes. each week, we ll be taking you on a journey from our forests to the oceans, examining where we live, how we travel and what we eat. we ll show you some of the paths for tackling the climate crisis, meeting the innovators, action takers and climate heroes who are truly making a difference. coming up this week, why volunteers are racing to restore billions of oysters across our waterways, how we meet the challenge of feeding an ever growing population while keeping sustainability a top priority. don t look now, but insects could soon start creeping onto your pl
examining where we live, how we travel, and what we eat. we ll show you some of the paths for tackling the climate crisis, meeting the innovators, action takers and climate heroes who are truly making a difference. coming up this week. what happens after we pull the plug on oil and gas? we travel to oil country, to see the teams cleaning up our fossil fuel past. lessons from the first us city to run on 100% renewable energy. reaching for the skies. how new fuels can help green our air travel. plus, can we reallyjust get power out of thin air? well, we ll speak to one scientist who says he s doing just that. we start with a look at why our transition to a greenerfuture can mean dealing with the legacy of our past. fossilfuels, like oil and gas, have been powering the world for decades, but they often leave behind facilities that continue to pollute long after they ve been shut down. i travelled to america s forgotten oil country to meet the people sealing off our abandoned wel
a clean energy revolution is under way as we turn the page on fossil fuels, and turn towards renewables. from solar panels to wind turbines, we are rolling out green energy faster than ever, because the way we power our planets could decide its future and ours. i m carl nasman, and this is future earth. welcome to the new series, shining a light on the simple real world solutions we already have to help us solve the biggest challenge of our lifetimes. each week, we ll be taking you on a journey from our forests to the oceans, examining where we live, how we travel, and what we eat. we ll show you some of the paths for tackling the climate crisis, meeting the innovators, action takers and climate heroes who are truly making a difference. coming up this week. what happens after we pull the plug on oil and gas? we travel to oil country, to see the teams cleaning up our fossil fuel past. lessons from the first us city to run on 100% renewable energy. reaching for the skies. h
