“ A bright , climatic putsch that uplifts biochar to an entirely unexampled level of substance and urgency!”―Paul Hawken
How we can harness carbon copy to help puzzle out the climate crisis in ordination to deliver ourselves from climate tragedy
In fiat to deliver ourselves from climate cataclysm , we ask to radically alter how world dwell on Earth . We have to go from spending atomic number 6 to bank it . We have to put back the trees , wetlands , and corals . We have to regrow the soil and sour back the desert . We have to save whales , wombats , and Wolf . We have to reverse the rate of flow of greenhouse gas and send them in on the nose the opposite direction : down , not up . We have to tack the carbon oscillation and head for the hills it backwards . For such a revolutionary shift we ’ll call for civilization 2.0 .
A secret unlock by the ancients of the Amazon for its ability to transform indigent tropical filth intoterra preta — fertile bleak land — repoint the way . The indigenous custom of convert constituent materials into long lasting C has savor a reawakening in recent decades as the quest for more sustainable farming methods has mature . Yet the welfare of this carbonize material , now called biochar , extend far beyond the soil . Pyrolyzing atomic number 6 has the power to regenerate a natural counterpoise by unmining the ember and undrilling the vegetable oil and accelerator . employ to its full potential , it can launch the C cycle in turnaround and remake Earth as a garden planet .
Burnlooks beyond renewable biomass or carbon capture vim systems to declare oneself a bigger and bolder visual modality for the next phase of human onward motion , moving carbon paper from wasted sources:• Into soils and farming systems to rebalance the carbon , nitrogen , and related cycles ; enhance nutrient denseness in solid food ; rebuild surface soil ; and condition urban and agricultural lands to withstand flooding and drought• To clean water by carbon filtration and trophic cascades within the globe ’s rivers , oceans , and wetlands• To shift urban infrastructures such as buildings , roads , bridge , and ports , incorporating drawdown materials and element , replacing steel , concrete , polymers , and composite with biological carbon• To drive economic reorganization by incentivizing carbon drawdown
Fully developed , this approach costs nothing — to the contrary , it can save companies money or supply new revenue streams .
