The trees and soils of the Northern Forests are the single largest carbon store on Earth’s land surface, and not as renewable as the forest industry lets consumers believe.

Greenpeace decided to use augmented reality to globally raise awareness for the Great Northern Forests and their trees.

A city is more than its buildings and parks. A city is its people and their history.
