The US just invested more than $1 billion into carbon removal / The move represents a big step in the effort to suck CO2 out of the atmosphere—and slow down climate change.::undefined

        Thought I recognized the name. Last of us reference?

        I think anything that reduces the elites would be effective.

        And just generally forcing people to do better.

        Less costs for those that reuse and a scale for people reducing their landfill rubbish.

        Incentives for public transportation and other forms of transportation.

        Incentives for planting more and reducing concrete use and destruction of native plants.

        Grey water application and solar on all new roofs.

        A complete stop to plastic use for everything would also be helpful. People myself included find it almost impossible to not purchase plastic.

        Bread. Comes in plastic bag. Cheese cucumber all meat products. Crackers in a plastic tray. It’s cheap for supermarkets to use plastic and we pay for cleanup. Move costs to them and they will change to cheaper.

        Cardboard can be broken down and hood for composting.

      That may be possible, but for long term storage of Carbon, Wood is great, just use it as building material or make charcoal from it wich you can store endlessly without the carbon being released again into the wild. Other options would be grain, you could Make alcohol from it, wich stores a lot of Carbon, but that would be a storage problem.

        Can you post sources for that. I haven’t heard of any of that. Wood sure but a lot of it is burnt so not great. Plus planting trees to then cull them release it back into atmosphere.
