Terra, the Sustainability Pavilion, promotes ecology, sustainable technologies and is going to play a key role. John Bull, portrays himself as a creator of a museum experience. Dubai will host the Expo for 173 days in the name of ¡®connecting the world and creating the future¡¯. The tale about the Sustainability Pavilion has its roots in life. Bull in one of his interviews said, "We don't say, ' let go your life and live in a cave, ' we realize we are living in this globe in Which we are confronted with difficulties. So, we say, let's be wise, let's just take a few better choices to meet these difficulties''. There are some wrong decisions we make together because we don't know. For example, I was surprised to find that an average cotton Tshirt was made with two and a half thousand Litres of water. It's a huge quantity, and yet we treat fashion as disposable. People keep a T-shirt for one season and then get rid of it. This is not a sensible choice. And when some of these layers of information or a shortage of information explained through a good story, It is evident that individuals love and want to safeguard the world around them. The magnitude of the crisis facing the planet is one of the difficulties involved. It can make individuals feel helpless and uncertain about how they can make a difference. "Two sides to this coin, Bull suggests". Everyone can create a difference. Every one of us can do tiny stuff in our life that will truly create an impact. Expo 2020 Dubai is about bringing together individuals, talking about stuff, finding ways forward. There's real hope if we can do that and talk with a single voice to suggest a fresh path forward.
