It's something like a Kickstarter project, only with a 15-year time horizon and millions of tons of carbon dioxide at stake.

I thank you for listening to our story, a story of how we are keeping our promise to remain carbon neutral, a story of how we are keeping our country pristine, for ourselves, our children, for your children and for the world.

This has the potential to lower, at least overall, the cost, time and carbon footprint of shipping without needing runways.

But what we can see is that transferring technology and knowledge and policies between cities is how we've actually begun to reduce the carbon intensity of our economies.

That's saving 3.2 billion tons of carbon dioxide emissions, which is the equivalent of taking all American cars off the roads for three whole years.

So, imagine that the building blocks are little atoms and there is a hydrogen here, a carbon here, a nitrogen here.

If the weak force had been a little bit different, then carbon and oxygen wouldn't be stable inside the hearts of stars, and there would be none of that in the universe.

The types of microbes that they used were called hydrogenotrophs, and with these hydrogenotrophs, you can create a virtuous carbon cycle that would sustain life onboard a spacecraft.

Astronauts would breathe out carbon dioxide, that carbon dioxide would then be captured by the microbes and converted into a nutritious, carbon-rich crop.

The astronauts would then eat that carbon-rich crop and exhale the carbon out in the form of carbon dioxide, which would then be captured by the microbes, to create a nutritious crop, which then would be exhaled in the form of carbon dioxide by the astronauts.

So in this way, a closed-loop carbon cycle is created.

We need carbon to survive as humans, and we get our carbon from food.

On a long space journey, you simply wouldn't be able to pick up any carbon along the way, so you'd have to figure out how to recycle it on board.

So a colleague of mine, Dr. John Reed, and I, were interested, actually, in carbon recycling here on Earth.

We have limited space and limited resources, and on Earth, we really do need to figure out how to recycle our carbon better.

So we had the idea, can we take some of these NASA-type ideas and apply them to our carbon problem here on Earth?

We found that we can make essential amino acids from carbon dioxide using these microbes.

And a natural carbon sink was also removed.

These supercharged carbon recyclers, like plants, serve as the natural recyclers in their ecosystems where they thrive.

In those ecosystems, they take carbon and recycle it into the nutrients needed for those ecosystems.

But the beauty and power associated with these supercharged carbon recyclers lies in the fact that they can actually produce in a matter of hours versus months.

If we implement this type of approach and use these carbon recyclers, then we wouldn't have to remove any more rainforests to make the food and the goods that we consume.

So when you take your next breath, you'll be breathing in 42 percent more carbon dioxide than if you were breathing in 1750.

It's sequestering carbon.

These molecules then react with airborne oxygen to create carbon dioxide and water.

As the fire heats up, the carbon dioxide and water vapor created by combustion expand.

For instance, any unreacted carbon atoms from the logs form little clumps of soot that rise into the flames and emit the yellow-orange light we associate with a campfire.

You see, scientists had just discovered in the laboratory in vitro that one pine seedling root could transmit carbon to another pine seedling root.

And then I got some really dangerous stuff: syringes full of radioactive carbon-14 carbon dioxide gas and some high pressure bottles of the stable isotope carbon-13 carbon dioxide gas.

I got my giant syringes, and I injected the bags with my tracer isotope carbon dioxide gases, first the birch.
