I went from data science to climate policy research, from tech to public service, in pursuit of better data to avoid the wasted energy, resources, opportunities that lead to runaway carbon emissions.
This has six carbon atoms, so "hexa," hexene-1-ol.
And almost all of the carbon in your body came from air, basically.
And suberin is really cool, because as you can see there, I hope, everywhere you see a black dot, that's a carbon.
So you can see why this is a perfect carbon storage device.
And actually it can stabilize the carbon that gets fixed by the plant into something that's a little bit better for the plant.
And so we figure, to do this carbon sequestration experiment actually requires a fair amount of land.
And then the second thing is, when a plant actually makes more carbon and buries it in the soil like that, almost all the soils on earth are actually depleted of carbon because of the load from agriculture, trying to feed eight billion people, which is what lives on the earth right now.
Plants that are making more carbon, those soils become enriched in carbon.
And as we've shown that we can get more carbon in that soil, the soil will get darker.
If we take carbon nanotubes, you know, Iijima discovered them in 1991, they just have incredible properties.
And many of you are sitting there right now, saying, "Waj, there's also overpopulation, there's also high birth rates, which still exist in many African and Middle Eastern countries, there's also orphan kids who still need parents, there's also a lack of resources to go around for everyone, and oh, by the way, we have a ginormous carbon footprint that is destroying this planet.

Just as we humans digest carbon or food into chunks of sugar that we then use for energy, so too do my bacteria.
By absorbing carbon through photosynthesis, these farms help battle climate change, and reduce local ocean acidification while creating habitats for other species to thrive.
Shifting to restorative ocean farming could provide good jobs for coastal communities, and support healthy plant and shellfish-based diets that have an incredibly low carbon footprint.
Yeast is eating sugar and turning it into carbon dioxide and alcohol.
We can understand, for example, why we create plaque in our arteries, what creates the starchiness inside of a grain, why does yeast metabolize sugar and produce carbon dioxide.

Human actions are now releasing 9.4 billion metric tons of carbon into the atmosphere, from activities such as burning fossil fuels and intensive agricultural practices, and other ways we change the way we use land, including deforestation.
But the concentration of carbon dioxide that stays in the atmosphere is only increasing by about half of that, and that's because half of the carbon we keep releasing into the atmosphere is currently being taken up by land and the seas through a process we know as carbon sequestration.
And second: the ability of these natural ecosystems to take up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and sequester it in the natural habitats is currently getting compromised, as they're experiencing serious degradation because of human actions.
