The blood circulatory system, while seemingly mundane, is essential for you to survive, providing oxygen and nutrients to your cells, and removing waste and carbon dioxide.
We see this problem in many places: in the difficulty of managing overfishing, or in reducing carbon emissions to mitigate climate change.
We developed the model for the state of California so they could get on with reducing carbon emissions.
Greenhouse gas: tremendous savings, because in California, our biggest carbon emission comes from cars, and cities that don't depend on cars as much obviously create huge savings.
Just reducing the average 10,000 miles per household per year, from somewhere in the mid-26,000 per household, has a huge impact not just on air quality and carbon but also on the household pocketbook.
From there, the salt circulates to a storage tank underground, where it produces steam, which spins turbines and generates enough electricity to power 70,000 homes and offsets 30,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions every year.
And we realized that 42 percent is made out of carbon, and carbon, of course, under high pressure, you get ... diamonds.
I always think that first you have to feel it, and then you can measure it; you need to hear the sounds of the atmosphere, of the climate, of the hot air, in order to then measure the ozone, the carbon dioxide.
There are factories around the world that are burning fossil fuels to produce carbon black, to make black inks that we use on an everyday basis.
These are the bubbles filled with carbon dioxide, a gas that's been produced during the fermentation process of the wine.
And also, what one of the speciality we are doing, my design is tracking the global warming effect on biodiversity, and what the impacts of the Ituri Forest is playing to uptake carbon.
We have now data of about 15 years, to see how that forest is contributing to the carbon reductions.
Human breath is essentially composed of five components: nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, water and argon.
They took a DNA origami, organized some carbon nano-tubes, made a little switch, you see here, wired it up, tested it and showed that it is indeed a switch.
For example, one half of the carbon equation is how much we emit, and the other half of the carbon equation, as I'm very conscious as a trustee of Kew, is how much things soak up, and they soak up carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.
There's only one marketplace, and I call them self-loading carbon payloads.
Well, very much like a carbon footprint, we all have a noise footprint, and there are things we can do to make that noise footprint smaller.

I'm working independently on one particular idea which uses natural gas to generate electricity in a way that takes carbon dioxide out of the air.
About half the chemical energy is converted into electricity, and the remainder into heat, which is used to break down limestone into lime and carbon dioxide.
It's actually generating carbon dioxide.
But the key point is, all of the carbon dioxide generated, both from the fuel cell and from the lime kiln, is pure, and that's really important, because it means you can either use that carbon dioxide or you can store it away deep underground at low cost.
Overall, the process is carbon negative.
It removes carbon dioxide from the air.
At the moment, power generation is responsible for about a quarter of all carbon dioxide emissions.
Hypothetically, if you replaced all power generation with this process, then you would not only eliminate all of the emissions from power generation but you would start removing emissions from other sectors as well, potentially cutting 60 percent of overall carbon emissions.
You absorb about twice as much carbon dioxide when you add it to seawater as when you use it industrially.
We need the ambition to restore the atmosphere, to draw down carbon dioxide back to a level that is compatible with a stable climate and healthy oceans.
