Carbon Catching Library

The Carbon Catching Library is an invitation to build knowledge about plants local to where you live, so that you can participate in plant-based carbon catching through propagation and interspecies care. The intent behind the Carbon Catching Library is to deepen our plant, soil, and pollinator literacy. These are vital skills we can buil on our journey to ecological and environmental harmony.

Carbon Catching Library includes twelve zines by emerging artists. These zines think through the role of plants and the role of knowledge sharing about plants, in a time when we all understand that we need to be living in better relation with the flora and fauna that have, for too long, simply been taken for granted as resources. Instead, we need to get to know them as verdant kin, and appreciate them for all their gifts, including their carbon-catching capacity as we transition away from extractive energy systems. 

We encourage you to activate the instruction from the Carbon Catching Library of zines and to start growing your own knowledge and plant-based Carbon Catching Libraries at home, in the workplace, or in any public community space.
