Engineers have recently been working on a new technology that could help reduce the amount of pollution in our air. Plants already absorb CO2 but they don't absorb it enough at the rate we're producing it.
Ever since the industrial revolution, there's been pollution everywhere, it even changed a whole species of insect because of all the pollution. So engineers have been working on machines that can absorb the excess carbon in our atmosphere and alter global warming. This technology is being worked on at ASU, a college in Los Angeles.
This technology has been created, but sadly there are huge problems that come with it.
- the material is too expensive to be able to make it in mass amounts
- it also creates a logistic problem: "where will it go?"
The idea is great but the problems are too big for the world to use the idea.

I agree, I believe that we have bigger problems than man can fix right now
