Part four: what’s in it for us all?

Draw Down, first plan to remove carbon throughout the world.  France took it to the world for a vote, many countries signed on, the US did/ would not.

Have you ever heard of the ‘legacy load’ this is the amount of CO2 that we omitted from 1778 to present.  Then there is our daily omissions.  Even if we stop our daily omission, the legacy load will still be there, warming the atmosphere for possible centuries.  We must do more than stop omitting.  We must DRAW DOWN in order to avoid chaos.

Part three:

what’s in it for the economy?

A really beautiful depiction, done by NASA illustrates the carbon in the earths atmosphere daily, throughout the years.  Sped up, you can see that in April, when the land is tilled across the planet in preparation for planting the carbon in that atmosphere skyrockets, then in June it does a nose dive… why you might ask?

what’s in it for me?

Did you know that the man who invented fertilizer and pesticides also invented the gas used to kill humans in world war two.  Farmers still use these toxic chemicals, they don’t just impact the food but they also make their way into the soil, water and our guts.  These impact our gut health, killing the most necessary  microbes throughout the body.
