We have to go from spending carbon to banking it. We have to put back the trees wetlands and corals. We have to regrow the soil and turn back the desert. We have to save whales wombats and wolves. We have to reverse the flow of greenhouse gases and send them in exactly the opposite direction: down not up. We have to flip the carbon cycle and run it backwards. For such a revolutionary transformation we ll need civilization 2.0. A secret unlocked by the ancients of the Amazon for its ability to transform impoverished tropical soils into terra preta fertile black earths points the way. The indigenous custom of converting organic materials into long lasting carbon has enjoyed a reawakening in recent decades as the quest for more sustainable farming methods has grown. Yet the benefits of this carbonized material now called biochar extend far beyond the soil. Pyrolyzing carbon has the power to restore a natural balance by unmining the coal and undrilling the oil and gas. Employed to its full potential it can run the carbon cycle in reverse and remake Earth as a garden planet. Burn looks beyond renewable biomass or carbon capture energy systems to offer a bigger and bolder vision for the next phase of human progress moving carbon from wasted sources:into soils and agricultural systems to rebalance the carbon nitrogen and related cycles; enhance nutrient density in food; rebuild topsoil; and condition urban and agricultural lands to withstand flooding and droughtto cleanse water by carbon filtration and trophic cascades within the world's rivers oceans and wetlandsto shift urban infrastructures such as buildings roads bridges and ports incorporating drawdown materials and components replacing steel concrete polymers and composites with biological carbonto drive economic reorganization by incentivizing carbon drawdown Fully developed this approach costs nothing to the contrary it can save companies money or provide new revenue streams. It contains the seeds of a new circular economy in which energy natural resources and human ingenuity enter a virtuous cycle of improvement. Burn offers bold new solutions to climate change that can begin right now.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Burn Igniting A New Carbon Drawdown Economy To End The Climate Crisis\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Draper Kathleen\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Chelsea Green Publishing Co\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781603589840\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 288 Pages, Black-And-White Illustrations Throughout\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 4\/20\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Waste Treatment \u0026amp; Disposal","brand":"Draper Kathleen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49621656305969,"sku":"IN-G-9781603589840","price":15.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781603589840.jpg?v=1724715137","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781603589840-burn-igniting-a-new-carbon-drawdown-economy-to-end-the-climate-crisis","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
