Available for over a year

What can trees teach us that could change the design of everyday objects, like clothes, to help us live more sustainably? Dian-Jen Lin is a Taiwanese fashion designer and the co-founder of sustainable design studio, Post Carbon Lab. She explains how they’re developing carbon-capture clothing with a photosynthetic coating, inspired by the trees and teachings she grew up with in Taiwan.
