Researchers Create Renewable Carbon Dioxide Sponge 206
First time accepted submitter Babu V Bassa writes "Concerned about adding too much carbon dioxide to the atmosphere? Consider a roof top coating on your car with this new material. A multinational team of researchers have developed a renewable sponge like material to capture and store gaseous carbon dioxide. The organic material is made up of gamma-cyclodextrin. Conventional metal-organic frameworks, which also are effective at adsorbing carbon dioxide, are usually prepared from materials derived from crude oil and often incorporate toxic heavy metals and are also non-renewable. The research paper published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society claims that its synthesis is essentially carbon-neutral and have the demonstrated ability to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere makes them promising materials for carbon fixation."

You're not imaginative enough then. Here's how you market it: This tree was organically grown in Japanese organic soil and hand watered with Swiss Alp Glacier Water. The wood was hand cut by a single family who eat only organic foods and have been trained for generations in the art of woodworking and yoga.
