In 2020 we have one extra day to do “something”….given the state of our planet I will use this extra day to try to improve my CO2 footprint.<\/p>\n

In 2018 we got rid of the petrol car and went full electric with the Tesla. In 2019 we installed solar panels.<\/p>\n

But when you look at the below graphic it seems that there is still a lot to do and clearly changing our diet to a more plant-based diet<\/a> should be part of the master plan. (by the way I recommend watching this<\/a>…)<\/p>\n

As I was browsing the internet to better understand how we “capture<\/a>” CO2, I realised that there is almost “NO” solution other than planting trees…..which seems such a low tech solution and inefficient in terms of returns.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>To illustrate the lack of technology to absorb the CO2, it would take 1 cubic meter of porous basalt (ie a rock of 1m by 1m by 1m) a full year to only “absorb” 0.5KG of Co2 from the atmosphere.<\/p>\n

We challenged our friends in our yearly “New Year Wishes”\u00a0 video<\/a> to do something about the environment.<\/p>\n

To fulfil my commitment, I am currently researching some sort of carbon capture device that I could build at home similar to this thing<\/a>. I would love to work with these people<\/a>….they seem to be having a lot of fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
