Proposal
contributor
We use physics in applications to do work. We seek to be as efficient as possible, thus we ought to seek the contribution by nature. Mimicry of natural systems has attracted much interest lately. For an example forests provide a renewable resource in wood and other agricultural resources do too. The wood sequesters carbon from the atmosphere, but Mankind has removed about 50% of the forests during the past 200 years. We can consider the wisdom of Sustainable Forestry with this renewable resource. Orchards can provide other economic value in addition to carbon capture. Carbon capture with the help of nature is intelligent. It is not beyond our ability to work with nature to accomplish a balance that is favorable to the Triple Bottom Lines that measure benefit (or loss) to the Planet, the People and a Profit for truly a sustainable development. We ought to work with nature to improve on these situations needing to be healed.

In a future proposal, we would like to see a discussion of the cost effectiveness and/or sustainability analysis of the demonstration plant you are proposing.
