Some cool climate tech that helps Earth

There is lots of cool climate tech that scientists are working on making in order to help our planet:

🐄💨 Feeding cows seaweed: This means cows fart and burp less, reducing the amount of methane they produce.
🚗⚡️ Electric cars: Electric cars do not use polluting fossil fuels and can instead be charged using renewable power.
🌊🌱 Adding minerals to the ocean: Marine plants are able to absorb more greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.
🪸🐠 3D printed coral reefs: This gives marine life a new habitat and encourages new coral to grow.
☀️📱 Solar powered clothes: What if you could charge small devices like your phone with renewable energy, without having to rely on the mains grid? Woah!
🦠🛍️ Plastic eating bacteria: Could this be a new way to get rid of plastic for good before it gets lost in oceans and landfill?
🍖🧪 Lab grown meat: Fewer cows and other animals will be raised to be eaten, which means less water is used and less methane is emitted into the atmosphere!
🚁🌾 Drones dropping seeds: This allows us to drop seeds far and wide without having to use a fuel-hungry tractor. More life can grow in new areas too!
♻️💚 Recycling: You know this one, reduce, reuse, recycle!

LYRICS: Sing along to the Horrible Science Climate Tech song!

Hello, I'm the Earth

I'm your only home

We're inventing ways

To keep her healthy

To create a greener future

Science can help Mother Nature

Bright ideas that could help the world

Cows creating gas...

PHH-RRR-RT!

Heats our atmosphere

Feed them this seaweed

Less burps out of here PHH-RRR-RT!

This fossil fuel pollution

Electric cars are one solution

Brand-new science that could help the world

Adding minerals to my oceans

Helps marine plants absorb greenhouse gas

So many ideas to put in motion

3D-printed coral reefs

Provide a place for plants and fish to grow

New science that could help the world

Solar-powered clothes

Will help charge our phones

We'll need less fossil fuel

But we can still call home

New plastic-eating bacteria

Makes my seas and oceans cleaner

Our cool science that could help the world

We've got so many, many, many inventions

Lab-grown meat

And drones to drop seeds from the sky

Helping the Earth is our intention

You could help too

If you choose

Reduce, recycle and re-use

And together we could help the world.

What is Earth Day 2026?

Earth Day 2026 is a special day when people all around the world think about and celebrate helping our amazing planet! It’s celebrated every year on April 22, and it reminds us how important it is to protect nature like trees, animals, oceans and the air we breathe.

You can help by doing simple things like picking up litter, recycling, planting flowers, or turning off lights when they’re not needed. Even small actions can make a big difference! Earth Day is all about working as a team to keep our planet happy, healthy and beautiful for everyone - today and in the future. 🌍✨
