It’s time to clean up

Ever since seeing the Al Gore documentary, “An Inconvenient Truth” about a possible future for everyone on this planet, I’ve had this thinking for my wife and my desire to have children. I’ve had a nightmarish vision of our future, yours and mine.

I think that I have the answer, I know as long as the U.S. doesn’t benefit in the short term it won’t happen but it might. My idea is using a recent invention described in this article (Wired News: Making Water From Thin Air) if it gets produced in mass quantities and used in Africa to provide potable water to the populace and to provide water to specially bred plants that maximize pollution absorption in the air.

It may:

  • Add water to an area that we are depleting of water with our actions
  • Grow pollution absorbing vegetation
  • Change weather patterns for the better
  • There is a lot of work to do but this is already available. Just convince the U.S. military to release a technology that may help the “enemy” (ha)

    I will not be part of the problem but will add ideas that may help
