We live in a time of great discovery. I am grateful to be an active participant in this stage of life and not a casual observer from somewhere on high. Life is fun- if you don't think so perhaps it is time for an attitude adjustment. I didn't say life would be easy- heavens no- but even through life's ups and downs it should be fun. At the end of the day are you laughing and smiling? or are you sad and crying? Just a thought.
Today's great discovery comes via the U.S. via the Telegraph out of England. It is a device called a CO2 Scrubber. To spare you the long read and the details this is it in a nut shell. For about 100,000 pounds scientists will create a CO2 scrubber that will scrub the atmosphere of CO2 at the rate of about a ton a day. It will take about two years to create the prototype in Arizona. The size is approximated to be about the size of a shipping container.
The estimate is that these devices would have to be produced in the millions to be affective. If you know where the line is for this high tech item please let me know. I would like to be the first in my neighborhood to have one. I am sure that my home owners association will allow it my backyard- I am saving the planet. Also, they are not sure what to do with the CO2 that is extracted from the atmosphere- perhaps Al Gore will buy them with all his carbon credits... just
a suggestion.
After much research I did find an alternative CO2 scrubber. It took some time but I am proud to give you this option. The nice thing with this scrubber is that it comes in various models with many different colors , size and shapes. The amazing thing is that there isn't a two year waiting period for the prototype to be built and we don't have to worry about the waste of the CO2. It is a self-contained unit without the need of filters. The truly amazing thing is that some of these units also have by-products
that can be useful. In fact there are numerous by-products that are produced from this CO2 scrubber. Perhaps it may be too early in it's production stage to name these products but I am going to go out on a limb here an try my best at culturing some possible names. I think my efforts will bear fruit so please don't say I'm nuts....so here goes: I think one name that will take off is Apple. I know that there are some in the business world that may have issues with this name. I am sure if my Granny were still alive she wouldn't object...so for my granny- apple is one of the by-product names that I believe would be successful. Some others: Pear, walnut, acorn, cherry to name a few. With some more trial and error I believe I can come up with additional names.
The last issue is what to name this other CO2 scrubber. I believe in it's marketability it should have a catch name that will be easily remembered. I have put some thought into the name and I believe I have one that will be suitable for all. My suggestion: The Retention Environmental Engine or TREE for short. I think it will catch on.
Are you laughing and smiling?...have a great day...jsf

I love this ... I may be a dedicated Barack girl but that does not mean I'm a tree hugging, single-minded-environment or bust-global warming -radical! GOOD POINT POPS!!
