Blocking solar rays. Sucking carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Ideas that sound like science fiction are now starting to become reality, raising concerns about safety.
Fully grown trees are carbon neutral. Yeah trees are made of carbon and when growing they pull carbon from the air and turn it into wood. Once fully grown that’s it.
We should use more wood for construction, that way we clear more land for growing new trees with the wood essentially storing carbon in the structure of a building.
But the impact of that won’t be much. We should do it because every little bit counts, but it would only be a minor part of a much larger solution.
We could also stop digging up oil from the ground and burning it. Novel idea I know.
Yup. That’s the crux of the problem. We’re pulling chemicals from the ground and burning it. Were do the gases from that go? Nowhere. They just stay in the atmosphere.
Biochar – Use highly efficient biochar retort machines to turn clean biomass waste into carbon that will last thousands of years and use it as an amazing soil amendment.
