 The Earth Issue
From crumbly compost to homemade paint, the earth beneath our feet has many treasures to offer. In this final issue of our "elements" series, earth takes the spotlight as we learn about the rare earth elements found in home appliances, and the promise of biochar as a means of storing excess carbon. We also find out how the WISE building was inspired by the rammed earth of the Alhambra palace, and how the best bread on earth might come from your own cob oven... |
 Biochar and soil carbon
On a planet where soil degradation and a carbon-heavy atmosphere threaten lives and livelihoods, solutions are desperately needed. Claire Bracegirdle explains why biochar fits the bill in more ways than one. |
 Mines, minerals and magnets
You may never have heard of neodymium, lanthanum or cerium, but you almost definitely own something that contains them. Joel Rawson looks at the applications and impacts of rare earth elements. |
 Build your own bread oven
Building with earth can be done on a relatively small scale, and making a bread oven for your garden is a great place to start. Adam Weismann and Katy Bryce talk us through the stages. |
