Many of our green friends have travelled to outer space, and returned. Researchers at NASA have proved that plants have the power to clean our air, our soil and our waste water. Some trees produce a bark that resists the flames of fire. An estimated 10 billion tons of wood is created every year by Mother Nature. Have you ever asked yourself where it all comes from? Despite a major handicap, not being able to run for their lives, the vegetal life on earth has developed “super powers”.

Debate with :

• Nathalie Machon, Ecology professor at the ecology and biodiversity managment department of the Muséum d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris
• Quincy Russell, Director
