- Carbon emissions, CO2.
You've heard of it, you know it warms the planet, but did you know that this dress is literally made from carbon emissions?
Yup, that's exactly what one biotech startup is doing.
They're capturing carbon emissions that would normally be released into the atmosphere, warming the planet, and instead converting it into ethanol, which is then processed into one of the components used to make polyester, and voila, a dress is created.
And don't think these are some soot covered dresses better suited for a chimney sweep.

Well, stick around, because that's what we're checking out in this week's episode.
