Why we need to talk about this hidden poison gas

Sulfur is everywhere – from foods to the human body, clouds and volcanoes. The colorful element is a main driver of acid rain and also a major pollutant present in coal. So why is no one talking about it? #PlanetA #Elemental#Sulfur We're destroying our environment at an alarming rate. But it doesn't need to be this way. Our new channel Planet A explores the shift towards an eco-friendly world — and challenges our ideas about what dealing with climate change means. We look at the big and the small: What we can do and how the system needs to change. Every Friday we'll take a truly global look at how to get us out of this mess.
