AlJazeera's Earthrise-The Millennium Seed Bank

Efforts to achieve a sustainable world are in evidence in every corner of the world. Here, AlJazeera features Earthrise, a program that focuses on global progress toward sustainability. This particular show features an investigation into the Millennium Seed Bank in Sussex, England. AlJazeera tells us, "Kew's Millennium Seed Bank partnership in Sussex is the largest off-site plant conservation project in the world. Working with partners in more than 50 countries, they had by 2009 banked the seeds of 10 per cent of the planet's wild plant species." Seed banks like the ones featured here exist to save seeds in danger of extinction due to the overdevelopment of the planet.
I find it hopeful that there is such a thriving culture of support for sustainability spreading all over the globe. You'll find the entire series of episodes for Earthrise at the following URL:
