The sun shone brightly today and lured me to Russell Square to enjoy the blossom on the trees. It is great to see the plants developing every day, soaking up the light and transfering this into energy to produce flowers.
Whilst sitting in the sun, I read in the newspaper about a remarkable discovery. Scientists at The Massachusetts Institute of Technology have mimicked the process by which plants use the power of sunlight to split water. They have managed to recreate photosynthesis by putting genetically modified viruses into wireless structures to generate more efficient production of solar electric power. http://www.ecoseed.org/en/general-green-news/renewable-energy/solar-energy/other-solar-technologies/6778

Debbie - who has written 872 posts on My Climate Change Garden.
I am not an experienced gardener - more of an enthusiastic amateur who learns by trial and error and who is keen to "manage" the effects of shifting weather patterns on my garden.
Writing this blog is my passion and it has evolved over 12 years to inspire engagement with climate change outside our back doors, in our personal gardens and green spaces.
My mission is to fertilise and expand this platform to grow a community of global gardeners communicating about the effects of climate change on our plants and exploring how each individual can make small changes in our lives to become more sustainable.
The future of our gardens and #OurPlanet is in our hands - please plant your own seeds for our collective sustainable future.
