So it's a double harvest of sunlight, so both for the solar cells and for the plants.

Scientists believe that carnivory in plants evolved separately at least six times on our planet, suggesting that this flesh-munching adaptation holds a major benefit for plants.

Carnivorous plants tend to grow in places with highly acidic soil, which is poor in crucial nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.

In these hostile conditions, plants that are able to lure, trap, and digest prey have an advantage over those that rely on soil for their nutrients.

Take this inhospitable bog, where pitcher plants reign supreme.

In the murky depths of a nearby pond, a tadpole unwittingly swims into the path of the bladderwort, the speediest of all carnivorous plants.

That's a key trend, which is decentralization, moving from centralized nuclear power plants and liquid natural gas tankers to decentralized resources that are environmentally more friendly, a lot more efficient and capable and safe from disruption.

Like my friend who says he's not ever going to give up his SUV until they stop building coal plants in China.

Until one day, running in the streets with a friend, it hit me: the same cars, factories, power plants whose emissions are wrecking our climate over time also release harmful, local pollutants that threaten our health right here and right now.

A hundred scientific research papers have been published already, using base editors in organisms ranging from bacteria to plants to mice to primates.

In plants, base editors have been used to introduce individual single DNA letter changes that could lead to better crops.

Two companies I cofounded, Beam Therapeutics and Pairwise Plants, are using base editing to treat human genetic diseases and to improve agriculture.

But I've come to appreciate the plants as amazing machines that they are, whose job has been, really, to just suck up CO2.

And that is that plants actually do this process called photosynthesis.

So you come from air, and it's because of photosynthesis, because what plants do is they use the energy in sunlight, take that CO2 and fix it into sugars.

And so, even though we're not doing a great job at cutting our emissions and things, plants have the capacity, as photosynthetic organisms, to help out.

We have to help the plants a little ourselves, because what plants like to do is put most of the CO2 into sugars.

So how can we get plants to redistribute the CO2 they bring in into something that's a little more stable?

And so it turns out that plants make this product, and it's called suberin.

And that included humans as well as plants and many other complicated eukaryotes.

And what that tells us is that all life on earth is really related, but plants are more related to each other than other organisms.

We have to get plants to make more suberin than they normally make, because we need them to be a little better than what they are.

And then the third thing is, we want the plants to have deeper roots.

And I'll tell you why we're picking crop plants to do the work for us when I get to that part of my talk.

Plants that are making more carbon, those soils become enriched in carbon.

So I'm here today as a character witness for plants.

And I want to tell you that plants are going to do it for us, all we have to do is give them a little help, and they will go and get a gold medal for humanity.

We thought there'd be animals there; we knew there were plants there; the colors change, right?

True land plants arose, leafless at first.

Jurassic Park still shimmers in part of Madagascar, and the center of Brazil, where plants called "cycads" remain rock hard.
