I love how I remember someone from a video that I watched said "the answer to our climate problems is right beneath our feet" as I did more research, it is in fact probably is the answer. We somehow made the term "carbon" a bad thing, when in fact it is not. We are made of carbon. Our atmosphere is made up of carbon. Our fossils are made up of carbon. We are carbon. The problem lies in it's balance. The more we dig up fossil fuels and release it in our atmosphere, the more we put the carbon there, making the Earth heat up. The ocean absorbs these carbon and heats up too, killing marine creatures. How can we kill off carbon though? The answer is we don't. We just balance it out. We just give it back to where it actually came from. Below our feet, in the soil. By planting more trees and by doing proper agriculture, we let the plants absorb the heat and turn it into other things, even starch. I love this idea of planting more. Giving back the carbon we so wrongly took from it's rightful home. It isn't the enemy. We are. But we can change it all. |
