Explore your relations to carbon stories through self-guided activities. Participants may choose a seedling to care for and contribute to regenerating Country.
Life on earth is made of carbon stories. Your body is a carbon story: you are eighteen percent carbon, formed from the plants and animals that you eat. In this workshop, RMIT's CO2 Removal Network invites you to participate in Capture, a Living Lab that connects educators, researchers, industry and community to demonstrate how, together, we can solve the challenge of carbon dioxide removal at community scale.
Meet and sit with the grasses and flowers whose roots held carbon in the soil for thousands of years, cared for by Wurundjeri people. Take some time to think with these seedlings as companions, and explore your relations to their carbon stories through self-guided activities.
Become part of their story: choose a seedling to care for over the next few weeks. You may plant the seedling, returning it to Country. Or, bring the seedling to campus for planting in the Capture demonstrator.
Date: Thursday 17 September
Time: 2:30-4pm
Location: Sustainability Space, Building 10, level 4, room 70, RMIT City Campus.
This is a drop-in workshop with self-guided activities. Bring a bag to carry your seedling away in. Staff and students welcome.
Launching in late 2026, Capture is the vision of the CO2 Removal Network, a group of researchers working across RMIT's Schools and Colleges. The CO2 Removal Network is focused on approaches to reduce carbon dioxide with a recognition of the inherent embeddedness of the technological, social and ecological in solving this global challenge.
