| The solution to cleaning up the environment will come from the stimulation of young minds. To this end our daycare program has come up with an innovative idea based the concept of the Mexican piñata. We hang little green balls filled with treats from the ceiling. We tell the children that this is greenhouse gas and that greenhouse gas is bad. Then the children hit the green balls to get rewarded with a shower of candies. We have found that children as young as 2 years old get the concept of getting rid of greenhouse gas.. - Miss Hanna - day care teacher |
| We, at LEGO Corporation have decided to encourage young people with a contest to create innovative solutions for cleaning up the environment. Entrants will be asked to build a Lego model of the environment complete with greenhouse gas powered by our new programmable LEGO Mindstorms blocks. It is hoped that this contest will generate ideas that will lead to the actual cleanup of the environment. - John Turner - CEO LEGO |
| It is well known that Tuna fish are natural absorbers of Mercury. In view of that, I think Tuna fish are a natural with a bit of genetic deprogramming to absorb Co2 instead. The idea would be that Tuna fish absorb excess Co2 from the ocean thereby allowing the ocean to absorb more Co2 from the atmosphere thus resulting in a greener planet. - Joe's Fish Plant - New Brunswick |
| I think there is something wrong. Scientists talk about wanting a greener planet and yet they also want to get rid of greenhouse gas. It seems to me that the two ideas conflict. Doesn’t greenhouse gas make the planet greener? I think if we get rid of greenhouse gas then the planet will become a clear color like glass. But anyway my solution is to maybe add some green colorant to the oceans when all the greenhouse gas is cleaned up. I think just giant hydrostatic pressure vacuums can clean up the atmosphere. - Deep-in-Thought |
| I am surprised that nobody has thought to create new species of plants which are especially designed to soak up co2. I would think that not all plants are equal in absorption capability. So my solution is to do a massive study of this sort. I think scientists just need to just grow forests of different plants, then burn the forests down and measure the resulting carbon content in the smoke. My instinctive guess is that a forest of genetically modified Lillies will do the trick because Lillie leaves are quite large. - Dr. Jones - Botanist |
