Environmental crisis needs immediate action.

PCS addresses the environmental destruction caused by human activities. Global environmental destruction is a pressing issue, with over 70% of the public believing that climate change is affecting their local area.

Wildlife populations have declined by almost 70% since 1970 due to environmental issues such as pollution and climate change. There is no guarantee that humans won't face the same fate.

After researching space migration for a year, our team found it infeasible. The solution lies in changing consumption patterns on Earth.
