Love the effort….Is there any farming involved? Any one thing that we can see drastic change almost overnight? Corn and soybean are grown all over North America, not in a sustainable manner at all, commercially. The suggestion is to use industrial Hemp in the crop rotation. Hemp takes in three times as much Carbon as any other plant, produces 10 times as much oxygen, and can be grown in succession with corn and soybeans. The natural scent of industrial hemp deters the natural insects that attack corn and soy, less toxins are needed, it takes in carbon, produces oxygen, and grows great with said crops. It can be a direct action on carbon intake, by putting more oxygen into the air.
The list is long as what to do with the hemp when its done growing…seeds for fuel, seeds for nutrition, can make lots of paper to feed the newsprint industry…Like i said the list is long..I believe that if people really focused..we can make a difference in one year on the planet…a noticeable change…ask David Suzuki…very bright man…thank you again for your efforts… Mother Nature appreciates the love.
Michael, thanks for the engaging comment. The idea of putting more oxygen in the air to combat CO2 is interesting. I’m not familiar with the exact science. How does this work?
