Why Wait? Regenerate!
Rehabilitation from hydrocarbon dependency requires not only a replacement energy source but also a storage location for out of place compounds contributing to rapid climate change. Geologic time scales are different than human timescale that occurs on the surface of Earth know as the Biosphere. As a species we are allowing Earths natural expense account of renewable food, fiber, fuel, shelter and everything humans need to be clogged up by geologically inappropriate material that has been assisted into the Biosphere.
The heritage carbon in the form of carbon dioxide currently present in the atmosphere was initially hydrocarbons burned as fuel to support conventional business since the industrial revolution to date. During the same time period conventional farmers have and continue to ravage the top soil that grows our food. The solution is very very simple, Regenerate soil by reintegrating plants coevolved food source animals! Put the CO2 through plants into soil and into animals that feed people while building soil. Take market share away from feed lot cows that buy corn and grain from farmers that consistently lose soil to the ocean every year! Replace Hydrocarbons with carbohydrates to feed our food and sell the cellulose ass fiber fuel to move and build a Hempire of Biodiverse Cities. Also compost the concept of waste and direct the art formerly known as waste to its most appropriate location on its journey home.
Where does the invisible nightmare in the Air go?
Soil is that place!
It is renewable, foundational, and severely depleted due to human mismanagement. Plants make carbohydrates the healthy alternative to hydrocarbon dependency. Plants enable ecosystems to trap carbon into the soil benefiting the owner of the land that is in the process of regeneration.
With the abundance of CO2 in the atmosphere there is an enormous opportunity to create a value system that gives Earth the Right to allow ecosystems to balance our carbon and hydrological budgets through Ecologically Regenerative Business.
