We shipped 100 climate-smart trees to a high school project called Plant It Forward. Today in celebration of #ArborDay2023, the students planted 100 trees in partnership with their local township in Michigan (right outside of Detroit).
We love their sign almost as much as we love partnering with local communities for urban forestry projects.

Building anything is hard.
Building a startup is very hard.
Building a startup to help solve a big global challenge is very very hard.
Building a startup to help solve a big global challenge, bridging legacy systems to new ones is very very very hard.
But, we gotta do it.

Yesterday was a historic day in plant biotech: a purple tomato engineered with high antioxidants was approved by @USDA @BigPurpleTomato helps prevent cardiovascular disease and fight cancer in humans.
This approval under new regulation ushers in a new era for plant synbio!

Excited to have the @wef highlight some of the biotech @living_carbon is building to improve the quality and durability of nature based solutions!
They accumulate up to 53% more biomass than ordinary trees.
