Some coal plants cleanse the air at the expense of waterways, according to the New York Times.
But surely the ozone layer is/was depleted by CFCs not CO2?

[quote="atasha shane"]However, why should we rely on the scientists to invent something when we could do something to clean the air?[/quote]
If we adopted that attitude, catalytic converters would never have been invented, and our cars would still...

Contrary to popular belief, hydroelectric power can seriously damage the climate. Proposed changes to the way countries' climate budgets are calculated aim to take greenhouse gas emissions from hydropower reservoirs...
How can plankton under the sea mend the hole in the ozone layer? They're a good long way from the stratosphere!

- I am not sure what you are asking - about the price to fly people from Japan and America. if it{s financial I can sy it depends on the country of origin and is quite reasonable at the moment and as it is so far then it can takes a few days. Howeveriof you are concerned about the impact of air flights on the environment, then I will explain. Myself I have been responsiblefor the planting of many millions of trees around the planet and for helping to save over endangered forests. I am still planting and for each and every person who comes to help build our home and permaculture , which will help save the forests of patagonia and beyond, many tres will be planted. Infact even today we are in the process of getting trees and I am not talking one or two. Recently I, and my wife, who also plants trees and walks around the planet with me, when I were not building our homewere responsible for bringing 120 japanese people to Africa. And each one planted eight trees, just to offset their carbon emission. The they paid and planted many more in townships where the people have no trees and where no touirsts and virually no environmentalists ever get too. Then we planted permaculture food gardens at school in the poorest communities, working with Food and Trees for frica who have planted millions of trees and established programmes to feed thousands and thousands of people throughout the land.
We have done the same in other countries too including inner Mongolia deserts. And with the support of local Chileans we are going to bring more people from Japan to plant food gardens to help the people here. By building our homem with volunteers we are educating people in ovther nations. Plus we are introducing people to the ebauty of this land and in turn they too will possibly help South America in the future.
If you would like to find more information the I suggest you visit our website and join the community. As you will see, the crowd is international, Americans, English, Japanese and chilean.
I just posted this information here for my Earth Day friends. The community is where we discuss how to make everything as sustainable as possible. So, infuture I will not be able to reply to all the comments on this site, but will rather do so through ourlittlething.ning.com
By the way, I walked through Exeter when I walked around Britian planting trees for people killed at war. Thankfully it is still a place where you can real close to downtown on a small path.
Go well
