  • Think of the carbon life cycle.

    There’s hydrocarbons underground that have been there for millions of years. Used to be in the air, but now it’s not.

    Now it’s burned as jet fuel (releasing that cow back into the air)

    If trees pull that co2 info their wood, what happens to that wood in 10,000 years? It’s going to be in the atmosphere again (bacteria and fungi break down dead wood)

    So the only way to do it, using trees, would be to burry them after maturation and make sure they don’t rot. And you’d need to do this to capture the gigs tonnes of co2 that is released (that’s a lot of trees…and a lot of digging…)



  • Sails and kites on cargo ships is a cool idea. But why not electric?

    • Cars can be electric
    • Rockets, tough, but they could be (hydrogen from electrolysis of water)
    • planes, so far - batteries seem to heavy, but maybe one day
    • trains, electric
    • boats, I’m sure the cargo will be reduced - but just get more boats.

    Tax oil/gas/plastic at a tiny tiny amount (0.0001%) per unit, and increase it every quarter (maybe even in line with global co2 production, or global temps, if you want some people to feel what the earth is feeling)

    This gives business time to de-hydrocarbon, and as stated above - there are already non hydrocarbon solutions
