The Carbon Cycle tells us that plants take CO2 out of the air as they grow and after they die they begin turning back into CO2 but it doesn’t say how fast that turn back happens. Slowing/stopping the turn back reduces CO2 emissions. Let’s explore.
Another snowstorm is forecast to move across the country. Now is the time to collect grasses and brush to use as insulation after the storm. The trapped cold can be in the summer when it gets hot for needed cooling. Just a thought for those that would like some free cooling this summer.

How to put coal back in the ground. Make charcoal out of dry plant material. Compress the charcoal to take out the air. Bury it in large piles. When made properly electricity can be one byproduct. A math equation—Charcoal-Char = coal.

Did you know that you can decrease CO2 emissions without stopping fossil fuel use. I read that 6 times more emissions come from plant material decaying. So by slowing plant decay you are slowing CO2 emissions. Send us ways you know that slow decay of material and we will share so everyone can learn.

NEW: An Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesperson rejected claims from Chicago Public Schools officials that ICE agents turned up at a school on the city's South Side and were denied entry.
ICE denies agents showed up at Chicago elementary school
These were the first reports of agents turning up at a school after Trump's policy change.

What is the fastest way to turn a dry dead tree into CO2? Fire, is probably top on your list. Keep it away from fire and it will not become CO2 for quite a while. Move the dry dead tree into the desert and it has a chance to be around for 100 years. This Carbon Cycle Challenge.
