North Carolinians are using natural solutions to respond to our changing climate.
Carbon is the building block of all life on Earth. But excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is changing the planet’s climate. Natural solutions are being used across North Carolina to help pull this excess carbon out of the air and store it underground. "State of Change: Natural Solutions" premieres Wednesday, 4/19 on PBS NC & the PBS App. Learn more at pbsnc.org/StateOfChange.

Hear from North Carolinians about climate change effects & innovative solutions across the state.- [Narrator] Carbon is at the heart of all life on Earth.
Although it's the building block of every living organism, excess carbon in our atmosphere has the potential to dramatically alter life on our planet.
- Carbon dioxide equivalents or greenhouse gases are the things that are causing our climate to become more unstable.
- [Narrator] Nature-based solutions are taking a front seat in North Carolina and across the globe as a way to pull excess carbon dioxide out of the air and store it underground.
- [Speaker X] We can actually do something that benefits local communities, benefits wildlife, but also stewards the land in a way that's addressing greenhouse gas emissions.
- It's an amazing amount of carbon that we can store in these systems.
- It's an easy solution.
We're not trying to, you know, build some machines that are gonna live and spin around in the ocean, right?
It's already here.
