Terraform - the act of modifying a planet's topography, biosphere, atmosphere, and temperature to make it habitable for humans.
Moss lawns, which resemble nature’s velvet carpets are essential parts of ecosystems as they benefit and support life around them. For example, a small moss lawn can absorb more carbon than 275 mature trees. They also produce a ton of oxygen, require significantly less water than most other plants, absorb air pollutants and prevent soil erosion. Mosses have survived for a long time here on Earth without harming the environment. Moreover, they actually help maintain the environmental balance.
Mosses have no flowers, seeds, or roots. Instead, they feed through one-cell leaves, can grow asexually, and reproduce by wind- or water-supported spore dispersal cycle. Some mosses don’t need much sunlight, and some would rather grow on a rock than on soil. Thus, they are often found in the depths of darkness, growing on rocks or around the roots of trees. Furthermore, despite a common misconception that mosses only inhabit moist places, they also grow in deserts and even in Antarctica. Some scientists even consider moss suitable for biological terraforming of Mars. Moss is an excellent example, that despite the negative impact of humans on the planet and attempts to adjust the planet for ourselves - nature is still stronger and it will always find ways for new life on Earth, even in the most severe conditions. So what role should humanity play on the planet?
The collection "I am planet Earth" aims to remind each of us that we are all part of this planet and that by destroying everything around us, we are destroying ourselves.
