Why I love this solution: There are so many different ways in which we need to move earth over shoot day. Even if we stopped now with polluting we still have a need to reduce the current concentration of CO2. We need people like all of us, who are looking for ways to reduce their contribution as well as companies striving to find innovative measures. One of them is greenSand, which is using natures own way of capturing CO2. Each kilo of olivine binds about 1.25 kg of CO2 through weathering. By replashing regular sand, gravel and fertiliser you can use greenSand instead and start living a CO2 neutral live or through clean up certificates you can compensate!
