What I really found interesting was a project called Biosphere 2, where for two years a group of people were locked inside of a huge domed building with eco systems that represented the entire world inside. However no oil was allowed to be used. The people living inside had to grow their own crops and co2 levels were measured throughout.
The project actually turned out to be a failure both physically and psychologically.
The co2 levels were still too high and people became ill. They also became distraught at the confinement they suffered.
As well as this project there were some diagrams that were also very visually interesting. There were enlarged images of some of the animals such as algae that made up the oil originally.
Another aspect that interested me was the way the exhibition spoke about how people look to the past in order to understand the future; are the increasing levels in co2 like anything that has been perceived before and if not why is this the case.
It also made a very strong case about creating a sustainable future for our world and the importance that we need to change our behaviour globally in order to reduce our oil usage and reduce co2 levels.
