I can’t wait until they makes these no cost, low-maintenance, and self-replacing. Oh man, just think of how easy it would be to fix our climate issues!

      Fun fact, most of the O2 we breathe is processed from CO2 by algae, not trees.

      I mean, trees help, but the planet is mostly covered in water, so algae has a bit of an advantage.

      The problem is that the ocean has historically been one part that environmental activism has struggled with, because how do you hold someone accountable for ecological damage done on international waters?

      Any damage there tends to then affect bays, natural marinas, shore lines, and other areas where algae like living.

      Trees are good, but they can probably do more good by replacing these carbon capture systems with algae ponds. They’re powered by the sun too.
