  1. Wow Organic Saris! Be a good idea to grow forests this way thearby also recycling CO2 into wood, quality wood used for building and furniture, keeping the carbon safely stored for centuries!

  2.  LagiNaLangAko23  Trees don't grow too slowly. This afternoon I'm going to video a tree I planted 25 years ago and put that on YouTube for you to see. Trees have a high carbon content so it appears to be slow but the weight gained is about 6 tons per Acre per year. A crop of wheat would grow 3 tonnes per Acre per year. Greenhouse tomatoes with CO2 enrichment from CHP could grow 12 tons per year. Bamboo is Hollow so though it appears to grow very quickly it doesn't contain so much carbon but could still be used in the mix. The best thing is if the product is made into something, like in video or furniture which will then last for some time before finally going to incineration at the power from waste, when it can't be recycled anymore. Obviously food crops can't have human waste but do use compost
