Branson Offers $25 Million to Remove Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide

I have already discovered this "invention"

Ready for it? Drumroll please....

It's Trees!

Where do I pick up my check?

trees arnt the vessel to hold all that carbon, so u need to go back to the soup line JLC.

only soils have enough carrying ability to that much carbon. so the answer...

drum roll please...

Terra Preta and char production.

where was that again that i picked up my check?

The problem with trees is that they are part of the natural cycle, hence they have a neutral effect on the atmosphere. (Once dead, they release the carbon that they have taken on)

I used to be dead set against carbon dioxide sequestian, but unfortunately, I think mankind has dug themselves in a greenhouse gas hole so deep that we may be forced to do this, along with massive switching to renewable energy sources.

Here you go Richard - take your planes out of the sky and tah dah! less greenhouse gas. Make the check out to 'cash'

Blaming Richard Branson for planes counterproductive.
At least he seems willing to look to the future, which is more than we can say about most people who have made fortunes from fossil-fuel driven industries.

Trees are only part of the natural carbon cycle if they are burned or decompose. As long as we build with them and make the buildings last a while, they are an effective carbon sink.

On my site I have described an economically viable and attractive way to reduce the CO2 from the atmosphere.

Branson is invested lots of things in transportation. Sure, he owns a fleet of jets, but also runs electric trains, had the virgin fuel (alternative research)

The future is algae. We grow it, then we eat it. Or we turn it into fuel, and remove the CO2 via the offset.

And best of all, its not people!

I want one of those BIG checks, and I want it from Ed McMahon.

Trees as part of wilderness are an excellent carbon sink especially due to build up in the soil.

How to get more wilderness? Convert much of the farm land that is currently used to grow cheap corn and soy to fatten livestock.

Unrealistic? Just have to end or scale back farm subsidies. People will naturally eat lower on the food chain if gov't stopped paying most of the cost of feeding animals.

And of course and end to oil and road related subsidies would encourage local eating.

Taking the point about counter-productivity, it is however worth considering that examples are good things to be set.

While Richard Branson is simply one of many airfleet owners (and got a lot of PR from his towing them to the runway and claims about bio-kerosene... which seem to have passed into history), at least he is accepting 'things need to be done' (and, putting some money where his mouth is), I would point out that he is also something to do with sticking half a dozen rich tourists in a rocket to look down on the planet they just pushed a smidge further to oblivion. I write this on the presumption that the intended propellant will be greenhouse gas-creating in its consumption.

If it's by catapult I'll apologise.

Speaking as one a tad put off by such antics, I do wonder if the creation of a green elite ('You may call me Nobel' Al, Tony 'it's not really practical not to when I'm hitting the lecture circuit' ' Blair, 'My other car is a Prius' Anycleb, etc) who 'need' to fly the world to spread their message 'as it's their job', may not be having the level of inspiration that is intended on those not so blessed with the fame/money luxuries of choice?

Having watched Total Recall, I'm a tad dubious about stuffing big blocks of goo under the ground, in case they leak back.

For now I think I'll go for the tree thing. Sounds promising. Unless some carb-con credit traders decide to horn in on the deal. Whoops, I think they already have...

I have several ideas to remove carbondioxide , but the ideal way to handle the matter is not to put it in the air in the first place.
First there has to be research done into producing a very fine alga or microbe that works by photosynthesis. there must have been millions of such type of microbes throughout time. These microbes would need to be produced in laboratories in enormous numbers and blown high into the atmosphere probably along mountain ranges or where there is an updraft they would then convert the carbondioxide into oxygen and water. I have no idea if anybody has thought of such an idea however i know few ideas are new.
I am also working on an idea to convert a standard car into a hybrid. It will need to be a front wheel drive car. The idea is to power two 240volt motors by an inverter they would drive the rear wheels. When the battery runs flat the normal engine is started to return home. A kit can be made up for people to convert their own car.

Me Again.
Has anybody worked out how many tree's it takes to sypply a car with oxygen. fuel and heat to build it and scrap it, in it's life? The result could frightening, I would think the result would probably show there is not enough tree's in the world to keep the cars going in the UK.

Point source recycling of CO2 using algae bioreactors would be the best method to prevent new accumulations of CO2. The CO2 already in the air will not stay there forever, so the key is to stop adding to it at such a prodigious rate.

One company has demonstrated that it can convert up to 80% of the CO2 from flue gases into algae during sunny days. With affordable storage and retrieval of CO2, and with widespread adoption of this technology, 50-60% of anthropogenic CO2 could be converted to fuel displacing fossil sources of fuel.

Using terrestrial biomass such as trees and grasses to fuel power plants would put us more at a current carbon energy economy. The roots left in ground would be a carbon sink to begin to reduce the levels of CO2 in the atmosphere.

And the prize is not just for the idea but for the demonstration that the idea can work. So get to work.

Carbon filters thats how. Those filters work great cleaning fish tanks, why not the air too? Oh yeah they are in home air filters also. Anythings worth a shot at this point.
NASA and the other countries in the world could also put off putting a shuttle into space for one year, and see how much the air has cleared out from not exploring space for that amount of time.
In the mean time the money used to NOT put a shuttle up could be used to feed the hungry of the world.
Instead of trying to find another planet to inhabit leaders of this world should be doing everything they can to take care of the planet we already inhabit.
Someone should've already thought of that.

In reply to "Here you go Richard - take your planes out of the sky and tah dah! less greenhouse gas. Make the check out to 'cash'"

For one, the prize is for reducing what CO2 is already in the atmosphere, not for stopping it going in.

And besides, the contrails that are left by the aroplanes that fly over head are actually causing global cooling as they are creating clouds & blocking out the sunlight. After 911 when all american planes were grounded, there were no contrails and therfore not as meany clouds being formed - the temperature actually went up not down. Check out Utube.

how can i belive that you person's give me money when i will u my idea and it is safe by u and my money is secure i made it several year before but how can i belive on you sir

You have a good point Sunil-dabas if you have enough money stashed away why should you worry. but wait a minute. Back in the 60's there was a song Good News Week and the words went "scientists are finding ways to keep us from the heat"
That suggests to me that they knew even then we were on a downhill slope and yet nothing has been done to stop it.
The Inca Indians went through the same type of thing, they were watering their crops with saline water and one day no more crops. The same with the inhabitants of Christmas Island, burnt all their wood and one day no trees.
I believe humans are programmed to destruct themselves and the reason is greed, money, wealth. no matter what you call it at the end of the day humans think they have security in it but when the air condition has become so bad throughout the world, like it is in many big cities at present and industry grinds to a hault, transportation stops and stock exchanges fall. there will be nothing to spend your money on.
I dont believe it would even work praying to a God I guess the Incas and Christmas island people tried that, it did'nt work for them and when the flames of Hell are licking at your backside its going to be to late.
On the other hand if because of greed people are trying to make money out of going green, and these extra Green taxes are just another excuse for taxes to be channeled to pay for more bombs and wars. That is only going to hasten the end.
So Sunil maybe you are right to hell with it all, stash away a few bottles of Scotch and when the time comes at least you can go out happy.

i have one and nasa has one to

so were do i pick up my money/cheack

i need it because i am going to use it to make a even better one

Just get rid of oil and hydrocarbon fuel

and go purely electric with atomic gases..

And no chance of the oil companies letting go of the pollution economy.

An atomic gas cycle engine is already patented what more does he want.

i not sure this is what you mean but, we have air filteration in our homes why cant we build the same thing on a much larger scale to filter our air??
big enough to go on towers or top of building

thanks for putting in my comment,was it because i was from uk ,south wales , you did not put it in

thanks bye

Funding for Photosynthesis. If more money is dedicated to develop new photosynthesis artificial processes such as nano particles that can split CO2 into oxygen and carbohydrates, and then in turn mix it -for example- with paints or coatings, that could be one solution to global warming

To Whom It May Concern: Im writing this letter in regards to the environment.

Life has like trillions’ of different concepts, and attitudes out there, and most or all have good rime and reason.

Many of the things I have written about’ are things and issues already discussed throw out society.

Thousands of years ago man kind had to adjust and conform to change

But with out these mannerisms every “atom” would be the same.

And like them I am not going to give up on my dreams.

Hypothetically speaking I believe, life out side of our orb,’ is irrelevant to our survival except its existence.

So as that my thought and beliefs can be heard I have written a brief story about my dreams and desire for the ecological problems that mankind face.

This story book comes in three parts.

The first part: Is on my thoughts on the beginning of time itself, and why racial violence or war may have started.

The second: Is an invention I have put great time and effort into creating and its benefits.

Thirdly: A brief manuscript about where it all started for me.

Im hoping that my thought will be given great consideration, because unfortunately for me, the under standing of how to seceded in the industrial world is out of my reach.

That is why im asking for help and support behind a invention that may revolutionize mankind, the kind of people; that have a real prospective about my thoughts on change and the backing and influence to create change of cause you because I have know way of getting it any where further than these pieces of paper.

The four Unknowns or just the unknowns.

`Deep within us all lays a place for solitude, where we can go to think, create, manifest and finally, do what makes our life as comfortable as possible for survival.
(Wherever that maybe)

I believe; Life is created by many living (and or) loving Organisms,’

Scientist would call these aquaion, (the atom)

Which gives each of every creator its (own or our) - unique equality’s.

Were all (like) from different cuttings or seeds: and yet (like) plants (for example trees that grow say in Ireland don’t grow in Australia:

The same goes for the blood groups of human.

All of these blood groups at one stage of our lives were separate, growing in patches throw out the lands, like a field of daisies would grow or gum trees in Australia

All with our own (aroma or sent) and sense of smell and direction, enabling us to manifest then manufacture any equation sought for or by mankind, we know all about our selves and what and how to use and obtain all of its products.

What do we get for our piece of time on this earth, (this also) should be looked upon as a gift, I believe for us to have to look after wherever that may be, being spent

Because (after all life is so special)

Then to look down at the prime example: the opening eyes of your own just born baby’s eyes) is seen as the most pleasurable feeling ever to be waited for.
Am I not correct?
It is your blood.

The link to tomorrow.

And you would do any think for it.
Or do that ever it takes.
Even give your life or die for it.
And in some cases kill or be killed.

I sit here looking out my eyes and I can imagine all I think.

Through one of our most pleasurable desires “thought.” What is it that we have?

2 page

“The Elements the sun, earth, water and air.
(And probably much more)

1-The sun: Rains down upon just to heat the Fournier.

2-The ground: beneath accepts and ardors this so we can grow.

3-The rain: Above ignites this passion.

4-With air the space: between as all.

5-And even to go as far and say our thoughts

6-All relevant or necessary for our survival and wellbeing, also


Once upon a time

These four unknowns were surrounded by, “what” perpetual darkness; silence, though, pleasure, passion, dreams, desires “or”, maybe just what we need to survive.

Like a prism or an embryo, comfortable yet alone, linked together, empty, searching with no knowing of sight or sound, or are they just deep laying thoughts in all of us
(With utmost respect the endless repetitiveness of this is killing,
(“Me” “who” “you” “why”) is that?
(“Me” “what” “no” “lesson”) Then they were silent.

The sounds of these words were deafening echoing repetitively across the seemingly end less stratosphere, igniting new chains of emotions fuelling energies throughout or within.

Then like pin pricks one by one thousands of (tiny lights or stars) appeared shedding even more definition over their existence in which they dwelled or squandered.

Throughout this there could (see or feel) that they were not alone but equations linked together back to back (seeing or imagine or were creating) a large seemingly motionless orb bestowing “them or us” with enormous gifts and beauty.

The stars glimmered upon its thick blue icy surface from unknowing of touch (light or darkness) gallant beautiful siren.

Then with a mighty thrust and a crippling roar a blinding light sound, appeared resilient pushing out a intense blistering-heat, of twisting, spiraling particles, igniting space with warmth (above and around)
Page3
Instantly rippling formations started forming, and then the ice began to crack under the enormous pressure from the heat, freeing fictions between the ice and land beneath.

The sun slowly melted through a large section of ice, releasing out thundering explosive sounds Igniting or shattering the ice, oozing, sweating and drizzling atoms of ice melted downwards throw, onto the layers of earth, which lay beneath drying up.

As The suns penetrating rays started piercing deep impressions into the moistening smoldering surface of the orb slowly burning its way into the core.

And as it did the water from the steep icy banks which surrounded this massive crater continuously melted inwards Extinguish and filling, this large inflamed crater.

The weighted water pulled, in turn propelling the orb too slowly spin and as it moved the Sun continued its destructive path, chewing throw vast sections of land faster and faster it spun, until eventually over coming the intense pounding.

Leaving vast open water ways, of bubbling, smoldering, shards of ice and water, cooling rivers, and oceans, swimming, pulling, against, the frictions, of the ice above and swollen water ways and lands below.

Yet beneath all of this Creating its own energies deep within its core as volcanic mountains started forming, rubbing, and smashing against the layers of ice; which still surrounded the orb as molt and laver spewed out.

(Inducing) out seeds of life, from deep within the belly of the orb, scattering themselves throughout the lands and seas.

“Excitedly” root systems hungrily gathered the rich minerals needed to succeed in its task or objective, stretching out and stabilizing it’s (surroundings or earth) around its master’s (embryo or seed) protecting the (love or life) witch laid within.

The first of the plants Grew in the deeper parts of the waterways, under the legers: in the cooler parts were they were protected from the harsh elements, releasing out thousands of tinny air bubbles or oxygen onto the surface.

And as these air bubbles multiplied and joined, they helped to free the frictions between the ices above and the land below, creating a buffer making the atmosphere more pliable.

Tinny organisms were also growing within the abundance of this: plant life under the water (fish for example dinosaurs)

And whilst this was accruing the water levels started to lower, leaving beds or showing sections of fertile land, with seeds waiting deep beneath the safety of the surface.
Page4
Read to burst outwards onto the surface or orb, and as they did, they gasping and gulping for life, as the air was fill with unwonted gases, automatically adapting and working as a filter to clean up the unwanted gases.

The first of these plants that appear were low laying soft yet resilient pockets of fauna, just poking out there peripheral hairs or leaves gradually over time, as other plants grow much larger and stronger.

Buds or flowers started to (grow or form) and within these buds a new species began to emerge, just as the organisms, which live beneath the waterways (did or appeared).


These creators (lived within the safety) or (Were born into the safety) of the flowers
(Im presuming) sheltered there throw out the (days or nights) the bud holding all the necessities and needs to sustain life, protecting (them or us) from the colds or the rains or the heats of the days.

I imagine that it would have been very bright at night with volcanic mountains going off

I can’t even begin to imagine the size: of the first human being or embryo, a single atom sitting, moving, sifting through pollen filled buds of plant life, swinging form stamen to stamen licking or sucking like a bee would.

Yet having no real (control or under standing) except taste and smell, even unable to real protection itself from the elements, which May of (lurked or lived) within its domain.

The sent from these pollens blowout over the water ways, and were detected by the organisms, which filled the water ways, absorbing and obtaining a taste for these pollens now going in search of them.

Pull themselves out of the waters climbing the stalks to the top where richly filled buds awaited them, they (too or we) may have evolved from the water, adapting and spending more time out of the waters to feed.

Yet some of these creators were an easy catch for the predators, which live within the buds, but some of them would just eat the whole bud.

Most defying the odds; breeding and growing larger and stronger with every generation

Learning how to communicate plural amongst (themselves or ourselves) (would have been) or (must have been) one of our biggest feet’s, should be seen as one of the Seven Wonders of the World.).

Eventually over time out growing the security, of their place of birth or sanctuary having to go in search for larger dwellings.
Page5
Everything was seen as a potential meal, learning and needing to know how to protect its self from the dangers, which faced them producing the greatest of worries.

Once upon a time

As I see it, as we started spreading out over the lands surviving, hunting and breeding.

Eventually we must have come across other people, man that must have been a scary thing.

They (must or would) have looked the same as each other, but as soon as they opened there mouths things (must or were) not the same, there was no under standing so what happened don’t for getting that, they (are or were) the bravest of worriers.

Retaliating more then likely killing or engaging in battle so some one must have been hurt creating fear or anger.

Running home to their homeland and telling the story of what had just come to pass.

Gathering up their weapons then going in search of each other for revenge of the blood just spilt.

Millions of days have past since this fist atrocity and strangely or not they still continue today, yet we have come a long way since then and there are no language problems.


(That’s us beautiful)

That’s how simple life must have been I guess.

CONSERVATION
The act of keeping or protecting from loss or injury. The preservation of natural resources as forests, fisheries, ECT, for economic or recreational use; also, an area so preservation.

I believe that all I have, to do is just find one (thing) that will inspire or touch hearts, to open minds hopefully to the realization, that something new or radical “must be considered”, for today’s ever changing environment!

Over the last 100 years we have far exceeded our forefathers expectations, planes, trains and auto mobiles sanitary standards, but even with all these successes, unfortunately we have managed to leave ourselves short, “global warming” but yet still manage to astonish many of our peers with our willingness to prolong our existence, from the back yard inventor too highly regarded men and women of the scientific workings of the world, all dedicated to there chosen arts, all trying to make a difference.

But some times creating one invention could devastate many industries, because of its ability to eliminate jobs once produced, and then this leaves the equilibrium unbalance

Politically speaking if we take away today’s desired means of economic sustainability, this could create a downfall in employment and offend many businesses, there for creating more difficulties within society.

So as not too compromising a loss of jobs within the future, I would love to try, something that could play a tremendous part in strengthening infrastructures, against global warming and create wealth and increase the morel living standards, of every nationality, and bring hope to those less unfortunate.

By using per-existing means (of not forgotten) but means of transport which we only use in our recreational, army and police training lives, like the one aim going to propose, because of its flexibility to be adapted into any environment or environmental issues which may need to be addressed.

Now pretend we are hovering high up in the sky with little wings on your backs and
Your only 40 millimeters tall, looking down onto, the roof tops of modern society.

First of all it starts to rain, Of cause we get knocked down onto the rooftop, and get washed off into the guttering system, then down the drain pipe we go, hold your breath, watch out for that left its a do zee, then washed down the street to its lowest destination accumulating and some times flooding can occur, then left to evaporate or washed into a elaborate net work of storm water out lets from our cities.
Page8
Now Instead of wasting this water from low lying areas or cities, let’s take a detour and put in a three columns pit, with storm water and surge capabilities, and maybe we can fit in a green waste system as well which will also create methane.

Then with the “help” from some of those geneses using modern technology, pump these effluents upward into a series of pipe lines, approximately 4.6meters or so above the ground level, then be gravity or force feed, diagonally across streets, so as not to inhibit with native furor as much.

Leading these pipelines directly, to their designated area, dams, water storage facilities, tips, farmers and countries.

Enabling use too utilize, these three essential rare commodities.

Instead of recycling effluent: or desalination.
.
And at the same time run new green power supplies, solar paneling, organic matter, or turbines, all optional?

And Telecommunications, Creating a corridor for national security, doctors police, by running separate lines.

Or for high-risk bush fire areas, place in water canons or some think along those lines, as long as it soaks the ground or surrounding trees or areas.

Then recycle the old and outdated, telegraph poles and lines plus phone lines, ECT.

Reduce cars from our roads.

By implementing, a new means of transport, at the same time “which I will get to in one minute”.

Because we will never completely, eliminate or eradicate cars nor would I even suggest that as they are apart of our society.

Now as we fly out the end refreshed, pop back to normal size, still got little wings if you want.

Proceeding on looking back over, the path in which we have just traveled high above City Street out of danger from cars and natural disasters.

Enabling us to economize on waste, and renew old and out dated weaknesses within to day’s society, with out major interruptions.
Page 9
Get them wings back on, but we better be between the age of “say’ thirteen and sixty take your choice, young, youthful, daring and open minded, resilient and strong preparing to take on life’s offerings.

Now I’m going to give you a three wheeler trike, with a catch its hopefully has a flying fox set up on it, so you can put your feet on the handle bars whilst holding onto the rear axles.

Want to go for a ride, no it’s not going to be easy it’s got no engine, “but you never know there is a lot of smart people out there” suck o, it’s pedal power; you will just have to get fit, cardiovascular work out whilst we go for a ride, or SLIDING as I like to call it. Maybe we can do some thing like a skateboard too.

Now armed with a new means of transport, “mum – dad” I m going to school now (bye) of to work darling or honey.

Safety equipment: Hares “can’t have you falling off now” trike holder, “that’s on the side of your known water proof back pack, for cloths or shopping. (Cosmetics) what ever.

Then walk up or down the street to a junction point, were we proceed, to climb a ladder or a rock climbing style surface, up to a landing were a “worker” will assist you to, remove your custom made tyke from our shoulder, place it onto a side ramp or junction point, enabling us to peddle off into a web of, a two to three lane velordrome style cycle way, in a semi or fully enclosed pipe line tunnel.

Then to get off use slide poles or ropes down to the ground.

And the ladders and slide poles serving as the means of getting the effluents up there.

This dose not need to be set up everywhere, low lying points to start following up river and creek systems in the cities were there is more roof coverage to collect the rain water and food scraps, on the roads acting as a barrier, to protect against flooding in places were erosion and tsunami a cur.

Where the high voltage power lines run using the flying fox set up, just build a bit more on the side. Train lines, express ways all good open spaces.

Using hemp rope and hemp also has very high oxygen out put. The water and green waste can be below on ground level with a tunnel too for the tyke and if we had a water slide system it would be a nice way to cool off heat the water.

This would not only be 90 to 99% environmentally friendly once built, it would also be a FUN. (Way of getting around)

For hygienic reasons, place showers at work places or for well-populated areas implement, ample grooming facilities. “Well we do live in a modem day society”.
Page10
And all these little things will create even more work.

Now to answer some of the questions and criticisms, I most commonly encounter.

What will it look like, do you think people will like the look of a pipe line, running down their street “that is my most hated question. As I believe the benefits far out way what it will look like. “Put in some native breeding boxes have been suggested”

How do you plan on funding such a project?

By asking every one over the age of sixteen for one dollar a week “small price too pay”.

Im sure that people will give more than that, if they believe that the project will help the economy and sustainability, for future generations to come.

People like Bill Gates, Dick Smith, musicians, doctors, lawyers, exta.

What will you receive in return, for your dollar a week?

Well I’m under the impression that if you had no job, for your dollar a week, and with a job unfortunately, and working on a project for the environment and a bit of your time say four days a week.

I reckon a minimum of 350 plus dollars a week. “Depending on what position you hold.

Which would lead to paying less tax, due to not have to pay as many people on unemployment benefits? Subsequently enabling economic growth, or in plain words enabling unemployed people to buy the thing they can not usually afford. This would in turn make growth in our all ready established sectors.

I have had many conversations about employment and have been told stories about the “facts” that there is a lot of employment but the real truth of the matter is, that when the paper lands on my door step “for example” and I ring up for a job, they inform me that they have all ready have 20 or more phone calls not every one has the same capabilities or qualifications people need to feel comfortable, “I have come to the persuasion that I don’t like jobs were I’m confided too small places its all right if I’m by my self” and some people just don’t read or write very well, so that gets rid of many opportunity’s .

This development will create much employment in the blue collar worker areas and with so many people already holding reputable jobs, so for those holding experience, placement is obvious.

This is not a job for just one party (to take a hold of and proclaim copy rights to), for it to work it must; far out exceed human’s expectations of resilience and sustainability for the future. Page11
And what are the benefits.

Building such a project will profoundly reduce Green house emissions from.

Cars: “emissions”

Power stations: “not having to burn as much coal”

By implementing: “solar paneling into the roofing witch covers the cycle way”

Radiation: “From power lines”

Provide: Clean “drinking water”

Recycling green food waste: “by placing mulcher in our house hold sinks”

Will create employment: “In every industry”

Fashion: “will change”

Music: “I believe will move forward”

Politics (both) Political and universal issues “will have to be discussed”

The possibilities are end less

Once upon a time so the stories go. For example: there was only ever only one way in and out of Sydney to Parramatta and that was via an old dirt road, now due to progress we have several different avenues, to venture to and fro from major cities.

Keeping cars out of the cities has been an idea.

Drive to a point where we have got for example a 15 lane cycle way into the cities is my idea.

That’s a taste of what we can achieve, little bit unsightly we can work on that someone suggested hydroponics’ on the side to cover it up a bit.

What if we put in a plug so when the lines gets full of water we can pull it, and really slide, its all in the preparation we got say two, three lanes, or just run a separate slide modify it.

Page12

Once were got this sit up we might be able two dig up a street or two and make water carriage ways float along shore line city streets or when were on holidays wouldn’t it be nice at Bali anywhere, I reckon it would take a good hit from a storm protect our shore lines enable us to get out of harms way in natural disasters allowing us to get to safety.

What if we did not go up 4.6meters high, and we just dig up a road our two.
Our build sides on it, like a barrier along the side of train lines, were our high voltage power lines, run down express ways, big banked corners on a tyke or a water slide.

Along for shores, low laying areas: will help with erosion by running drainage systems into low laying areas

WHY

Because some people say” the future is bleak and man has all ready destroyed this
Planet”, in other words they all ready have us dead and buried. What sort of outlook does this send to our children! And we wonder why. (I could say many things, but that’s sort of not what this is all about)
A FRY IS A BABY FISH I DON’T KNOW WHY

Particularly I have children in mind, well it all started when my partner told me she was pregnant with our first child.

As I left her work that morning to walk home, I found myself confronted with issues which I would normally talk about, but yet usually overlook, yet unknowing obviously important to my subconscious.

This was in an area I knew well as I had grown up in this area.

Standing there looking over Silverwater all I could think I could really see was pollution.

I had words of poetry start to flood in to my head, inspiring me, these words were profoundly directed at the state of the environment, making me ask questions about my own mortality.

Did I really want to bring a child into this world; of course I loved the thought of going to be a father.

I was 24 then, now I am 42 but when I was 7,8 or 9 I can’t remember exactly, but I do remember leaning up against my families home, looking up at the clouds and remembering how high they seemed. Then I went over to a pile of dirt in the front yard and knelt down and prayed and said if you ever need something just ask.

A mate and I use to go for walks to McDonalds to get something to eat, it was about 15km away, one night we were discussing how could we get there faster, we were only 15 years old, it use to take us about an hour and one half to get there, well it use to feel about that long.

Unbeknown to me at this stage of my life one day this discussion would become an obsession.

So over the last 16 years I have come up with many weird and some not so wonderful ideas, how to get from place to place without damaging the environment. I even went to the length of seeing a psychiatrist at 34 and then again at 40 because I have a reading and writing problem and asked for help and they just told me that everything I wanted to do was humanly possible.

So I tried contacting many different environmental and government bodies with no great success.

With the attitude of not wanting to completely give away the full picture over the phone I only told environmental and government bodies the benefits of my thoughts.

Unfortunately for me we live in a world were having only words to succeed does not seem to count. But to succeed you need to have it down in black and white and not just a phone call, which is all I was offered.

Yet most of the people in whom I did speak to, took great interest and I did sincerely believe that if it was within their power to help me they would have given me 100%.

In all industry we are employed to reach a specific level of satisfaction, which does not always leave time.

Also a lack of ability to read and write confidently I believe we live in a alternative society where learning comes due to intelligence and the intuition to want success and money which makes us fortunate as we are surrounded by so many already successful ran enterprises, I could never learn as many qualifications needed to successful to achieve my dreams.

Sometimes I think that I am fortunate that I was not able to read and write properly because everything you learn must take up space so to speak.

My mother and the school sent me to special classes and in year 5 to Macquari8e University where there was 2 of the most wonderful ladies and I would like to apologise for not coming to the last lesson, I was very shy.

I use to watch a lot of television till I was 13 then started playing pool at home in the garage. I left school at 14. 9 months and got a job. I still today very rarely read a billboard and I think I have only ever read 1 book and the stars in the paper and that would only be in the last 5-6 years.

I think it would be safe to say that the most important things in the world would be our families, and losing loved ones due to tragedy bringing on the ability to want to seek justice in many different ways, strapping on a bomb is one, sadly very damaging because of its impact creating more hatred.

Because of something that started before any of us were even born. This is a very confronting and confusing reality.

So friends anything that can bring prosperity into our lives would be considered a plus.

I have been really scared to express myself, so on the night of 8.7.05 I decided to write this book and stop having doubts about myself and just express all my dreams and desires and to stop thing about the vast amounts of money. I may or may not have been able to make because money always comes into it somewhere along the lines.

Someone wise told me that money makes the world go round so I have an extreme tendency to believe this particular man.

MY BELIEFS

I would like to think that there is life after death or reincarnation and if there is and if it was at all possible to look back from beyond life and still mingle with our love ones from the other side don’t you think that they would be pleading for us to stop fighting.

Then I would sincerely hate to look back at a planet that was in the brinks of devastation knowing for well that maybe all that was needed was some extra safe guards put in place.

I would also be sad to think that mankind could become primitive at any stage of our lives, mankind exists on a staple diet brought to us complementary and sensibly disturbed around the world.

In recent times the world has displayed some catastrophic displays of nature, yet we have managed to fight back confidently and keep order.

My concern is that if things did get out of control that only the strong would survive imagine people fighting over food, forgetting that breeding or growing of food was important before long even the strongest of men would decline.

And the way in which scientist’s are speaking about global warming if this planet did become primitive nothing would survive because there won’t be any rocket scientist to look after all the nuclear waste.

So without mankind to look after this plant I doubt it, if even the humble cockroach would even survive that is like worst case scenario, same as strapping a bomb on yourself and if we do go down wouldn’t it be nice to go down fighting after all existing is what we do best.

Well lets all get over that thought NOW

I hope that all the years I have spent talking to complete strangers and many of my closest friends will not all be in vain.

PROVES TO ME I AM STILL LEARNING

Had a conversation today 7.12.05 with some elderly friends I know, they were telling me a story about Narrabeen Lake where the lake had reached critical water levels and the children had to take the cows up to higher ground and the local residents were presently in talks (we do a lot of that) with the local government about opening up a channel at the north end of Narraben so that this regular occurrence would be avoided, on this particular day half a dozen men took it upon themselves to shovel and open the channel with success.

Our world is in need of these particular kind of administration there are many able bodies in dire need of rescue throughout the world

Nourishment by hard work should be the alternate goals sought by mankind, we have made ourselves a new means of employment just be neglect, but instead environmental aware people tend to these problems, but really more shovels are needed.

I am pleading to humanity to open their minds to opening their wallets to the government as without sufficient funds even governments are limite4d to a budget of a minimum of one dollar a week to enable governments and environmental groups to employ and create a better environment.

Showing the strength to the youth of the future that there is not one thing that mankind cannot achieve when set our mind upon.

Knowledge has got now to the point where everything is achievable but only open minds and wallets will work.

Thank you for taking the time to read my letter.

There is such system, removing about 120,000 TONS of CO2 per year. The cost is aroud $14,000,000 each.

THIS IS THE ANSWER TO ALL OF US

I think to buy one of these and make some serious money !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We would have less CO2 to remove if we put less in the atmosphere in the first place. Conservation has been consistantly shown to be the most cost effective way of reducing CO2. This needs to be concentrated on first. Second,trees provide shading (cutting air conditioning costs) and direct cooling (by sucking up the suns IR rays thus also keeping homes cool). The wood from trees can be used to build homes, so the argument that trees are neutral is bogus. Lots of things can be done. These include enouraging vegetarian living, practicing birth control (repeat BIRTH CONTROL), converting farms to forests, build houses with wood, use mass transit, stay home, don't travel, don't travel and don't travel.
