Carbon sink –Plans sent to global ideas bank and later virgin earth challenge -Years ago, I  proposed detailed plans to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere at fossil fuel powered, power plants by pumping the exhaust for chimney stacks into cooling ponds infused with an alga(seaweed,single celled or filamentous) which should grow rapidly in the warm co2 rich water ,the alga would then be removed regularly either by scraping the surface or filtering depending on the types of algae used . The alga could then be compressed and stored transformed into various products including paper or used as a food . Tissue from certain algae can be used as a paper substitute without much transformation i.e. it can be written on directly.

Car co2 vacuums Around the same time I also thought of using cars to vacuum co2 as they drive by drawing air into the car by vacuum fan e.g.even when idling they could draw in co2 and use carbon scrubbers to remove it .

 

WED– Walk For Earth every Wednesday

Let us all,8 billion of us make a choice and act on it every Wednesday ,WED on Wednesdays !!!

Let us use this Oil impasse to wean ourselves off it as a fuel PS —TRANSPORT fuels, HEAVY WORK fuels and TRANSPORTABLE fuels– may be all different ;Cities only need electric and public transport’ ;The country maybe needs hybrid, but Heavy workload large machines will need (petroleum)Oil based fuels for some years unless iron man lends us a hand (ie NUKE) or Hydrogen steps in ; This is why we must not waste what OIL is left ,on unnecessary things; Oil is also used for medicines ,clothing ,lubricants and many other things that we WILL miss !! It took 300 million years to create ,WE COULD USE IT ALL UP IN A FEW HUNDRED IF WE INSIST ON OUR CURRENT FAST AS WE CAN , ALL THE TIME approach . Figures differ but there may be less than 50 years worth left !!
