Description

Discover how our food production and even our yards and gardens can play a role in reducing CO2 levels. We're joined by Ben Cloud, CEO of Biodel AG Inc., a Maricopa, Arizona company that recently introduced Sequester, a soil treatment that restores the soil’s ability to capture and hold CO2 that also promotes improved plant growth. Sequester is available for farming applications and for home use. A $12.81 8 oz bottle of Sequester can be used to improve the carbon sequestion capability of up to 2,500 square feet of yard and gardens. It is produced using a blend of cyanobacteria — the source of much of the breathable oxygen on the planet. In addition to helping capture carbon, Sequester reputedly reduces water consumption, salinity and nitrogen use by 30%.Carbon dioxide is humanity’s most pressing problem. Since the dawn of the Industrial era about 250 years ago, humans have pumped more than 1.5 trillion tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere, warming the planet by 1.8 degree Fahrenheit and bringing on the Climate Crisis. In addition to reducing emissions to zero, we need to remove this CO2 to start to cool the planet back to the temperatures in which we and the rest of the species on the planet evolved.
