CLIMARTE EMERGENCY ACTION, A decade + of draught, severe water restrictions and extreme heat, are combing to put our urban Trees at risk / by Mark Edwards


In my effort to make an impact to the growing devastation climate change has on ours and the world at large, I have made some small works that are the starting point to provoke and highlight a significant tree # 163 on the register in the city of Melbournes Exceptional Tree Register Report. The tree is a 100 year old Eucalyptus cladoccalyx commonly known as the Sugar Gum. My project focuses on how much this tree collects co2 thus helping save the enviroment. Using the symbols co2 I provoke and highlight as a community we need to save the trees we have and plant more trees to help protect the enviroment.
