Katherine Soucie is a young Canadian artist and designer. She has focused on using unusual materials to produce textiles and clothing at her Vancouver-based company Sans Soucie.

The increase in the level of carbon dioxide, affects the nutrients and anti nutrients in eucalypt leaves. Anti nutrients are basically things that are toxic in nature and affect the nutrients. The anti nutrients in the the eucalypts is built due to carbon. With the increase in the levels of carob, there is more production of anti nutrients than nutrients. Koalas feed on these eucalypts. They are basically finicky about the type of eucalypts that they feed on. This is so, because there are various species of eucalypts, and each of these have varying degrees of nutrients and anti nutrients, and thus vary from each other.
