DESCRIPTION

YOU MAY NEED TO READ THIS MORE THAN ONCE IN ORDER TO TAKE IT IN... The way out of our current and potentially long-term economic crisis is this: Support those made redundant by the declining consume-and-dump economy, to apply for available international funding to create a new global industry that turns carbon emissions and waste cyclically into food and fuel. Q: What turns CO2 and waste into food and fuel? A: We all learnt this at school, but few have made the link - it's photosynthesis - what trees and crops do. What has gone wrong is that we have vastly reduced the amount of photosynthesis that goes on and instead use up fossil fuels, which are actually just old buried vegetation; and so our CO2 and waste now just accumulate in the air, sea and landfill, rather than being turned back into the carbon resources, which we are now running short of. When we first reached the great landmasses we cleared the coastal trees. Unfortunately rainforests are only rainforests because they have access to moist air from over the sea. Cut forests off from the coast and whole continents turn into deserts. We therefore need to replace coastal forests. How? By using wastewater as ballast in returning supertankers. That will provide organic material and nutrients to turn sand back into soil, and millions of tonnes of water with which to irrigate new coastal tree belts. This will enable agroforestry to proceed inland, locking vast quantities of CO2 away in productive vegetation and providing more than enough food and energy crops for the world's needs. We will then have an economy that restores the world as it grows, instead of depleting and poisoning it. International universities, agencies and authorities are taking this seriously. When confidence collapses, billions are instantly wiped off the stock market, leaving unmanageable debt. Boosting optimism about the future, can restore business and consumer confidence, re-create lost wealth and enable the conversion of our dying consume-and-dump economy into a cyclic-and-sustainable economy. So, please take the time to understand this and pass it on? http://fredome.wordpress.com/our-vision/
