The story is about carbon capturing mechanical “trees” which use a chemical resin to passively absorb carbon dioxide when dry, and then release and store it when wet. Colin and Kristy, two high school friends and environmentalists, return home from college for winter break. Colin has made a “fake” tree that captures carbon, and he wants to display it in Kristy’s Christmas tree lot. Immersed in climate angst and activism, romance is ignited!
