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.

- [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?
