Script 1
This trunk had two neat brass locks, one left, one right, along the front of the lid. Ethel, after fumbling, opened the first – then, so great was her hurry to know what might be within that she could not wait but slipped her hand in under the lifted corner. She pulled out one pricelessly lacy top of what must be a bridal-veil, and gave a quick laugh – must not this be an omen? She pulled again, but the stuff resisted, almost as though it were being grasped from inside the trunk.
Script 2
A long, long time ago, organic remains were safely stored deep within our planet;
Where it turned into carbon compound.
Let's fast forward to the industrial revolution, when we first discovered that we could use this carbon to fuel our societies.
But there's a catch.
Every carbon particle we burn, turns into a CO2 molecule, that is filling up the atmosphere.
Which is bad news for our planet — and for us.
