Disruptive climate change is the lead story on our favorite newsfeeds. Fast fashion, waste, and plastics are swallowing our land and oceans. Superbugs are overtaking our antibiotics. Face it—we’re living in a dark, Gotham-like world of environmental corruption. Thank goodness Commissioner Gordon is flashing the spotlight. Help is on the way.

We have the means and the ability to grow high-quality protein, clean up our pollution, and face the perils of antibiotic resistance. The superhero commandeering these huge breakthroughs: bacteria. This tiny yet mighty microbial force sweeping our Gotham cloud has the future of our health, wealth, security, and lunch in its elegant superpowers. Where do they get all those wonderful toys?
