Summary: As humans we don't really take in to account how much we possibly pollute our atmosphere just in one day. We release CO2 so much that we are on our to warming beyond a catastrophic 2-degree-Celsius tipping point. So recent studies on ways to extract the extra amounts of CO2 from the air and turn it into materials for bulidings. It will harvest the CO2 through "plastic trees" to make materials and liquid fuel.
Analysis: I feel this is a great way to reuse resources to create other resources but on the other hand will it make our place of live feel artificial? That is the question..... There are probably more pros then cons because the fact we are less polluting our atmosphere and creating more useable resources while saving us from global warming, end up looking artificial. This is a step towards lowering our rates of global warming and advancing in ways of technological advances that are exceeding many expectations among the scientific community. I feel in the end the "plastic trees" will be more beneficial to us than to keep trying to convince people about how they are polluting the air and tell them to stop.
