Zero Carbon - The other easier, cheaper, less painful route

In 2020 the UK reached approximately 50% of its 1990 levels. I have read this is leading the world. That was the easy part, every percentage reduction from now on, will be more difficult and more expensive.

So visualise we are at +5 and zero carbon is 0. If we absorb more carbon, and achieve at -5 absorption rate, +5 plus -5 equals zero (carbon).

We are not talking about buying up acres of the Amazon or planting trees that in 30 years (if avoiding the deer and squirrels we are too squeamish to control), to reach the -5 with versions of offsetting.

It would be much much, cheaper and much less painful to treat our soils better and as a by product increase carbon storage* and biodiversity**.

* & ** We recently achieved in 6 months near 100% increases in both by treating soil better.
